In this article we’re going to take a look at how to create a case study video in just 10 simple steps.

More and more shoppers conduct extensive research before they make a purchase. The reasons are plentiful, everything from wanting to purchase from brands that have similar values to their own to simply wanting to get the best deal. But the fact remains that consumers are more conscious of where they spend their money these days. 

In fact, according to a study by Google , 53% of shoppers say they always do research before they buy to ensure they are making the best possible choice . 

When potential customers are doing that research a case study video can really help your, well, case ! 

Case study videos help to increase trust and can ultimately result in more sales for your business. 

So, let’s take a look at how to make a case study video in 10 steps.

What is a case study video?

A case study video is a video that focuses on real customer success stories as a way to demonstrate the value of a company’s products or services. 

Here’s an example that we made with one of our customers: 

Case study video benefits

1. increase trust & credibility.

Brand trust is not something to be underestimated. According to a study by Accenture of more than 7,000 companies, trust is as important as growth and profitability when it comes to the financial health of a company. 

This is especially important when it comes to customers from younger generations. An American study from Morning Consult found that 42% of Gen Z and 30% of millennials do not trust the average American company and instead stated “ they have to earn my trust ”. 

One of the biggest benefits of creating a case study video is that it adds a level of authenticity and credibility to your brand which can increase trust among leads and help convert them into new customers. 

2. Relate to your customers

“ People buy from people ” might be an old saying but it seems more and more relevant as we move into an era where consumers are growing tired of faceless corporations and turning to influencers that they know and trust instead. 

According to a survey of 1,000 consumers by Sprout Social , 64% of consumers want brands to connect with them . And when they feel more connected to brands it results in a whole host of benefits: 

Sprout Social survey

When asked to rank which channels brands should use to create the best opportunity to connect with customers, video came in 2nd place (beaten only by social media). 

Creating videos, especially case study videos that aren’t overly salesly, can really help you to relate to your customers and build a stronger bond that could encourage them to spend more, stay loyal, and give you positive word of mouth marketing. 

3. Boost sales

Case study videos basically showcase how amazing your brand, product, or service is by proving the benefits that you’ve given to one of your happiest customers. This is a great tool for boosting sales because it gives viewers someone to identify with and makes them think “ huh, if that happened for them then maybe it can happen for me. ” 

According to our Video Marketing Statistics 2022 , 2 out of 3 people say they’d be more likely to make a purchase after watching a testimonial video demonstrating how a business, product or service had helped another person like them.

So it’s simple really. The more people feel confident in your brand, the more people are likely going to buy from you.

4. They’re easy & inexpensive to make

You can make a case study video with literally just your smartphone. All you really need is one of your customers talking to-camera and some simple editing software to cut it all together and maybe add a nice soundtrack. 

With video apps like TikTok on the rise and incredibly easy to use, you could even throw together a case study video on there! 

Of course, the better your video looks the more credibility you’ll have. It’s always a good idea to cut together some B-roll with your to-camera interviews to make your video more professional and engaging. But even with these additions, case study videos are still much quicker, easier, and cost effective than most other types of videos out there. 

5. Strengthen your relationship with existing customers

Last but certainly not least, creating case study videos can really strengthen your relationship with existing customers. 

When you reach out to a happy customer and they agree to take part in your case study video, that shows a lot of belief and loyalty for your brand on their side. 

The process of creating a video together could strengthen your relationship even more and could result in the customer becoming an even bigger fan of your company! 

How to create a case study video in 10 steps

1. decide on a goal.

First you need to define a goal for your video. Think about what you’d like the outcome to be. Of course, the answer is probably in the realm of “increase sales” because that’s the main goal for any business, but try and drill down deeper before you get started. 

For example, consider if there is a specific hurdle you’re trying to overcome. Ask yourself what is the biggest barrier to purchase that your product or service has – perhaps it’s that people struggle to see the value upfront or maybe think your product is okay but not a necessity for them – whatever the issues may be, try to use your case study video to eliminate those doubts. 

2. Identify your target audience

In addition to identifying a goal for the video you need to identify your target audience, and keep them in mind during the early stages of development.

For example, think about the following: What motivates your target audience? What’s important to them? What do they want to know? 

By keeping the answers to these questions in mind you’ll be able to craft your video to speak directly to your target audience and increase your chances of success. 

3. Choose the right customer

This one’s important! You need to decide which one of your customers would be a perfect fit for your case study video. 

This doesn’t necessarily mean picking your happiest, most complimentary customer. Now that you have your goal and target audience in mind you need to select a customer whose journey best fits the narrative that you’re looking to create. 

Approach your customer politely with an email or a friendly chat and ask if they’d like to be in your video. And remember to make it easy for them to say yes! Let them choose a time that’s convenient, offer to cover travel expenses (if required), and to really sweeten the deal you could always give them a discount code or free gift for being such a great customer.

4. Write a script

Your script will be the roadmap for your video. Of course, you don’t have to write everything down word-for-word – that’s certainly not what case study videos are about. Case study videos should be natural and authentic, giving customers time to speak about their experience in their own words. 

However, it’s still important to have a script that will act as a rough plan to help you guide the day of shooting and create the bare bones of a narrative for your video. 

For example, you’ll probably want the customer to start by outlining their problem before they found your company. Then explain how your company helped them, and finally round off with some key benefits. 

5. Add stats where possible

When talking about the benefits that your company has brought to the case study customer, stats and figures always help. 

This is especially important if you’re in the B2B space. Solid figures that show a clear benefit will make it easier for buyers to present your case study video to their employer and say “ we need this .”

You may find that your customer has done this research themselves already – as they may have wanted to calculate the benefit. If not, it could be a good idea to invest in some research yourself as tangible figures that prove the benefit of your product or service can really elevate the video and improve your credibility with viewers. 

6. Find the perfect location

The setting of your video can make such a difference to the viewer experience, so it’s important to find the perfect place. This could be your office, your customer’s place, or a neutral location. 

The location needs to tick two boxes – it needs to match the look and feel that you want to portray in your video and it needs to be convenient for everyone to get to. 

Most great testimonial videos will usually have a couple of establishing shots in there to really set the scene, so you shouldn’t underestimate the power of a great setting. 

7. Create a shot list

When you’ve decided on a location and you have a solid script , you can start to create a shot list.

A shot list is a document that maps out each scene that you want to see in your video. Here’s a quick and rough example: 

  • Establishing shot of the building
  • B-roll of the team eating lunch together
  • To-camera interview with X person

A shot list is important because it will help your day of shooting go more efficiently. And it’s especially important if you aren’t going to be there and you’re handing over the responsibility to an external film crew.  

A shot list will make sure you get all of the shots you need for your video without forgetting anything. No one wants to forget an important shot and have to rebook the space and rearrange a date for everyone to meet again – that’s a lot of wasted time and money. 

8. Shoot your video!

The next step is of course to shoot your video! Set your cameras up, grab your script and your shot list and make sure you get everything you need. 

It’s also worth double-checking that you have everything you want on film before you leave. 

A top tip for this step of creating a case study video is to make sure your customer feels comfortable . 

The reality is, most people don’t feel comfortable having a camera pointed at them. You can help make things easier in simple ways, such as getting everything set up before they arrive. So all they have to do is sit or stand on their mark. 

Another way to make your customer feel comfortable is to break the ice first. Hit record and then talk about some normal things to calm their nerves. Maybe give them a couple of tries at introducing themselves. 

Patience is key here – if you give your customer the time they need to feel comfortable then your case study video is going to look 10x better! 

9. Edit your video

After the shoot comes the edit. If you’re new to the world of video you may be surprised at just how much of a difference editing can make. 

A great edit that cuts between different camera angles and shots, includes a fitting soundtrack, and maybe even some title slides or animations that help to emphasise certain points will really elevate your video. 

The main aim here is to edit your video in a way that will increase viewer engagement. You can work with a video company to help you create a professional edit or you could have a go at editing yourself! 

There are tons of apps available for all different devices. Check out our roundup of top video editing software to find out more.

10. Share your video

When you’re happy with your video it’s time to share it with the world. It’s best to create a specific landing page on your site for your case study videos, but the promotion of your  video doesn’t have to end there. 

Make sure you post your video in as many places as possible: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube. The more places you post, the more views you’re likely to get. 

7 Top examples of case study videos

1. wyzowl – uberflip.

We made this case study video with our great friends at Uberflip after we worked with them to create some marketing videos for their company. 

This is a relatively simple case study video that features different shots cut together while Randy (one of Uberflip’s co-founders) talks naturally about his experience with Wyzowl. 

We thought we’d include it on this list as it goes to show you don’t need lots of bells and whistles to create an authentic and engaging case study video. 

2. Google Ads – Chuckling Goat

It might be a bold statement but we’re going to say it anyway: this case study video is perfect! 

It has all of the ingredients you need to create an amazing video, from the gorgeous establishing shots at the start that drop the viewer into the world of Chuckling Goat to the light-hearted joke at the end. 

Instead of making Google Ads the focus, this video allows Chuckling Goat to tell their story before weaving Google Ads into the narrative naturally. 

The animated graphic that accompanies the growth Google Ads facilitated for the company is a great touch!  

3. Zoom – Customer Stories

Zoom showed with this fun, quickfire video that you don’t need to focus on just one customer to make a great case study video. Instead, they decided to include multiple customers. 

The result is a really cool and varied collection of benefits that Zoom has brought to different customers. 

Another nice touch is that all of the customers appear to have recorded their portion of the video using Zoom!  

4. Wyzowl – Oxford University Press

This is another case study video we created, this time with Oxford University Press. With this video, we added dynamic title screens and name cards to make the content more engaging and also easier for viewers to skip through if they want an answer to a specific question.

It’s also great that the animated video we made for Oxford University Press is featured in the case study video, along with the results that were achieved. 

5. Samsung – Superdry

This case study video is for Samsung Display Solutions so it has to look great – and it does! The opening timelapse of Norway is crystal clear and really sets the scene. 

As we get into the meat of the video, it’s great to hear what the Superdry staff have to say about the Samsung screens while we (as the viewers) get to see them in action.

6. Hubspot – Avison Young

One of the best things about this video isn’t part of the video at all. It’s in the title:  

HubSpot video title

Including the impressive results of Avison Young’s partnership with HubSpot in the title encourages viewers not just to click on the video but to keep watching in order to find out how that happened. 

In addition to that, this video does a great job of laying out the customer’s initial problem before introducing HubSpot as the perfect solution.

7. Claranet – Pets at Home

This case study video, while long, manages to keep viewer attention with help from a heartwarming soundtrack and clips of various cute animals. 

The video also uses animation to emphasise the role that Claranet has played in helping Pets at Home to grow.

Case study and testimonial videos can give your brand a HUGE credibility boost. If you want to create an amazing case study video like the ones seen in this article, head to our Testimonial Video Production page to find out more.

7 Case Study Video Examples [Updated 2023]

Sendspark

Case studies are a valuable in video marketing, social media marketing, and sales. They make your features and benefits more tangible for prospects. And they help viewers digest and remember key points.

The question is, what does a good case study video look like?

Below, we give you answers in the form of our favorite case studies. We cover video content from giants like Freshbooks as well as SMBs like Moovs. But first, let's talk about...

What is a Case Study Video?

A case study video is a piece of content that shows prospects how others are using - and succeeding with - a product. They usually feature some or all of the following...

  • A customer story
  • Testimonials
  • Use cases, e.g. helping sales teams drive more revenue for Sendspark
  • Stats and figures
  • Before/after stories
  • Benefit-driven narratives
  • Problem resolution scenarios

Case studies can be used to sell to a potential customer, help retain current customers, and more. They are easy to use across all channels; social media, email marketing campaigns , etc.

5 Features of Successful Case Study Videos

Case study videos, including the 8 below, tend to have a few recurring features. These are...

  • They’re customer-centric . A case study video isn’t really about your brand. It’s about your customer, their story, and how the product figures in that story. 
  • They cover important information . Viewers retain 9.5x more information when viewing videos ( WordStream ). That’s why it’s important to address key points, yourself or through customers, with case study videos. 
  • They are mobile-optimized . 75% of all videos views come from mobile devices ( eMarketer ). You need to avoid small type, distant shots, and overwhelming images where too much is happening all at once. Record desktop ; think mobile. 
  • They’re big on emotions . 95% of communication comes from non-verbal cues. Customers’ gestures, facial expressions, body language and voice tone all have a huge impact ( Inc.com ). Use them!
  • They’re engaging . Make things fun. Create an exciting narrative around the customer story. Go through slides or shots without stalling to avoid dragging out the video.

Now let's dive into the actual examples!

7 Case Study Video Examples

1. freshbooks case study (sarah).

Case Study Type: Testimonial

This is a short, benefit-driven testimonial video. It features Sarah: an SMB owner using Freshbooks for 2 years. 

Sarah explains how she benefits from using Freshbooks. For example, she... 

  • Gets an extra 12 hours each week
  • Always knows who owes her money
  • Can use the app from her mobile phone

Any busy entrepreneur can relate to Sarah. She turns dry accounting software features into attractive benefits. Her messaging is a lot more persuasive than anything Freshbooks could tell you. 

The main takeaway is that testimonials from happy customers add a new dimension to case studies. And asking for them doesn’t have to be hard; all you need is a free Sendspark account and the Request Videos feature. 

2. Slack Case Study (Sendie)

Case Study Type: Customer Success Story

In this video, Sendie - a hybrid company - has its COO, CPO, and CTO talk about Slack. They explain how the software helps them manage distributed teams and remote workers across time zones. 

The CTO talks about Slack enabling a virtual “open door policy” remotely. The COO covers asynchronous communication with partners and employees. 

The video itself is standard (if very well-made). What’s special is its timing. It was released at the height of the pandemic, when most teams were looking for new ways to collaborate online. This made it a valuable way to showcase how Slack can help remote teams work better. 

The takeaway is that using customers to address hot topics - like “how do we work remotely postpandemic?” here - makes for powerful case studies. 

3. Resource/Ammirati Case Study (Wendy’s)

Case Study Type: Video Infographic 

This video explains how Resource/Ammirate created a valuable app for Wendy’s. It covers: 

  • App features (e.g. mobile payment)
  • App user experience (e.g. nutrition-based orders)
  • Value-adds (e.g. customized meal orders)

By showing off the app’s key features and benefits, Resource/Ammirati give viewers a taste of what they can do. 

What makes this app stand out is the visuals. Graphics, stats, and screenshots are all used to emphasize and imprint talking points. For example: 

The takeaway is that you don’t need high production values to create a visually appealing case study video. You can simply just a Google Slide presentation and go through it using Sendspark’s screen recorder feature - all for free. 

4. Zappos Case Study Video

Case Study Type: Combo Video

This video has a bit of everything. Zappo’s corporate history, customer service recordings, puppets... It’s all there. 

The one thing that really shines through is Zappo’s fun, helpful energy. You can tell the brand cares about serving customers and entertaining you with this odd-but-fun case study. 

We have two main takeaways here. One is that you can combine different video types to make a case study. The second is that being informal and letting your personality shine through can make for good case studies; especially in the B2C space. 

5. GoPro Case Study

Case Study Type: User-Generated Content Case Study

This GoPro case study combines customer testimonials with user-generated content. The result is a fun, fast-paced case study. GoPro is positioned as a gamechanging technology as we see early adopters use it. 

The takeaway here is to use a combination of product videos and in-person footage. Seeing people use a product in real-time offers a preview of what using it for yourself is like. 

The cool part is that creating UGC for digital products is very easy. All you have to do is request a video using SendSpark , asking customers to show themselves using the product. 

6. Google Ads (Princess Polly)

Princess Polly is an environmentally conscious e-commerce company. Their case study explains how they used Google ads to scale their business by appearing top of page 1 for target keywords. 

This video has a different feel to most of the ones on this page. Its focus is on warming up leads instead of introducing them to the product. Its talking points overcome objections while positioning Ads as the perfect product for e-commerce and SMB customers.

The takeaway is to use case studies to qualify leads, highlight benefits, close sales, and overcome objections - not just generate leads. 

7. Duda Case Study (Moovs)

Case Study Type: Feature Review

In this video, Duda customer Amir Ghorbani explains how they whitelabel the software to serve their 200+ customers. Unlike most case studies, this one focuses on features; not benefits. Amir goes through key features that made whitelabeling preferable to building in-house. 

This kind of video is useful when you’re deep into the customer journey. It helps close sales and warm up leads who are already in the sales pipeline. 

The takeaway here is that you can make feature-focused case studies to help convert leads into customers. User testimonials and product demos - or a combination of both - work well for that purpose. 

8. HubSpot with EZ Texting

Case Study Type: In-Depth Use Case

This video focuses on one person - Shawn Lucas, Director of Sales Operations - and one use case: sales. 

This makes this video unique. It’s a deep dive into one specific customer avatar’s needs and benefits. It’s highly persuasive - but only if your work is somehow connected to sales, marketing, and customer-facing operations. 

The takeaway is that you don’t have to make case studies with everyone in mind. Given how easy it is to create and upload videos, you can make a bunch of videos for different situations and target audiences. 

Now you know how big brands make case study videos. Use the examples above to inspire your sales team, improve video marketing efforts, and impress your target audience.

Just remember: you don't need a huge budget to get huge results from your case studies. All you need to get started is a webcam and a free Sendspark account .

With our software, you can put together beautiful, personalized videos that combine selfie shots and screen recordings. You can also ask customers to send their stories and testimonials in using the request video feature .

How to Make Killer Video Case Studies

Everyone loves a good story. Maybe that’s why video case studies are popular. Case studies are stories that give us insight, provide a behind-the-scenes look, and introduce us to real people at a real company. Many businesses use case studies to show how their products and services are making an impact on their customers. They can document new product development, or show how a company has made improvements, changed corporate culture, or leveraged resources for the benefit of a community.

We’ll explore every facet of video case studies, breaking down what they are, how to make them, and what makes a successful one. We’ll also provide you with case study video examples as well as tips for making effective videos that will drive results.

Key Takeaways

What is a video case study?

A video case study is a compelling audiovisual presentation that tells the story of how a particular product, service, or solution positively impacted a real-world customer or client. It typically features interviews with the customer, highlights their challenges and goals, and showcases how the featured product or service provided a solution and delivered measurable benefits.

Video case studies are powerful marketing tools, as they build trust, demonstrate credibility, and provide potential customers with real-life examples of successful outcomes, ultimately influencing their purchasing decisions.

What are the benefits of video case studies?

The truth is, consumers want more video content. In a 2023 study from Wyzowl , 91% of respondents claimed that they wanted more video content from brands. So why not give the people what they want? On top of that, using case study videos can offer several significant benefits for a business:

  • Credibility and trust: Case study videos showcase real-life success stories, demonstrating that your products or services have delivered tangible benefits to satisfied customers. This builds trust and credibility with potential clients or customers.
  • Engagement: Videos are inherently engaging and can captivate your audience better than text or static images. Case study videos allow you to tell a compelling narrative, keeping viewers interested in your content.
  • Demonstration of expertise: Through case studies, you can showcase your expertise and industry knowledge. They establish you as an authority in your field and position your business as a go-to solution provider.
  • Problem-solution narrative: Case study videos often follow a problem-solution structure, helping potential customers identify with the challenges presented and visualize how your product or service can solve their own problems.
  • Personal connection: Including customer interviews or testimonials in your videos adds a personal touch. Prospective clients can relate to real people who have benefited from your offerings, making your brand more relatable.
  • Versatility: Case study videos can be shared across various platforms, such as your website, social media, email marketing, and presentations. This versatility ensures that your success stories reach a wide audience.
  • Measurable impact: Case study videos can include data and metrics that demonstrate the concrete results achieved by your clients. This evidence of ROI can be particularly persuasive.
  • Lead generation: Well-optimized case study videos can serve as valuable lead magnets, attracting potential customers who are actively seeking solutions to problems similar to those addressed in your videos.
  • Storytelling: Effective storytelling in case study videos helps create an emotional connection with your audience, making your brand more memorable and relatable.

Incorporating case study videos into your marketing strategy can have a profound impact on your business by fostering trust, engagement, and conversions while showcasing your expertise and the real-world benefits of your products or services.

Are there different types of video case studies?

As with any genre of film or video production, there are some commonalities in style and tone you’ll see as you delve into that genre. The same holds true with video case studies, where there are several common types you will encounter.

Product/Service Reviews

Narrative Case Studies

  • Introduction: Set the stage by introducing the customer or client and their unique situation.
  • Challenge: Describe the significant challenges or pain points the customer faced.
  • Journey: Take viewers on the customer’s journey, emphasizing their struggles and emotional experiences.

Each type of case study video serves a unique purpose and engages different aspects of your audience’s decision-making process. Depending on your goals and the subject matter, one of these case study styles should help you convey the message you’re trying to get across.

How to make a video case study

Case studies as a rule won’t necessarily follow an exact timeline or template, but in general, the following steps are typically part of the video case study production process.

1. Planning and Pre-production

Before diving into the video production process , it’s crucial to lay a solid foundation. Start by clearly defining your objectives for the case study video. Identify the specific goals you want to achieve, such as increasing brand awareness, showcasing product effectiveness, or driving conversions.

Selecting the right client or customer is a pivotal step. Choose someone who has a compelling story to tell and has experienced significant benefits from your product or service. Gather initial information about their experience and challenges to ensure they align with your goals.

Set clear goals and key messages you want to convey through the case study. These messages will guide the direction of your video. Assemble your team, which may include videographers, editors, and interviewers, and develop a production timeline to keep the project on track. Don’t forget to secure any necessary permissions and releases from your client and any individuals featured in the video.

2. Research and Interviews

With your pre-production work complete, it’s time to dive into the research phase. Conduct in-depth interviews with your chosen client or customer. These interviews should yield insightful testimonials that highlight the impact of your product or service.

During the interviews, aim to identify the pain points and challenges your client faced before using your solution. Document their journey in detail, from their initial struggles to the moment they found your product or service. Equally important is to capture how your solution addressed these challenges and the benefits it provided.

Supporting data and metrics are key to substantiating your case study. Collect relevant statistics, customer feedback, or any measurable results that reinforce the success story. Build a storyboard or outline for your video, which will serve as the roadmap for the narrative you want to convey.

3. Filming and Production

The production phase involves bringing your case study to life through video. Start by meticulously planning the video shoot. This includes location scouting to find suitable settings, setting up equipment, and assembling your production team if necessary.

Conduct interviews with your client to capture their story authentically. Additionally, capture B-roll footage that complements the narrative. Ensure that you maintain high-quality audio and visuals throughout the shoot to create a professional and engaging video.

Consistency in branding and style is essential. Your case study video should align with your brand’s identity and values. If needed, shoot additional footage to fill any gaps and enhance the overall storytelling.

4. Post-production

After filming, the post-production phase is where the pieces come together to create a cohesive and compelling video. Begin by reviewing all the footage and selecting the best clips that tell the story effectively.

The editing process is crucial. Arrange the footage in a way that builds a compelling narrative, starting with the problem and progressing to the solution. Add supporting graphics, text, and data to provide context and enhance viewer understanding. Pay close attention to enhancing visual and audio quality to maintain professionalism.

Incorporate music or voiceover, if appropriate and necessary for the narrative. Test the video for clarity and impact, and obtain feedback from stakeholders to ensure the final product aligns with your goals and objectives.

5. Finalization and Distribution

With the video edited and polished, it’s time for finalization and distribution. Add branding elements and a clear call to action that guides viewers on what to do next.

Consider creating different versions of the video, such as shorter snippets for social media and a longer, more detailed version for your website or email marketing.

Optimize the video for search engines if you plan to host it online. Set up a dedicated landing page or platform for hosting the video.

Develop a distribution plan that outlines how and where you’ll share the video, ensuring it reaches your target audience effectively.

6. Monitoring and Analysis

Once the video is live, your work isn’t over. Track key video metrics such as views, engagement (likes, shares, comments), and conversions. Collect feedback from your audience to gauge their response and make improvements for future videos.

Evaluate the video’s impact on your defined objectives. Did it drive the desired results, whether that’s increased brand awareness or conversions? Use this analysis to refine your future video case studies.

7. Post-Release Engagement

Stay engaged with your audience after releasing the video. Respond promptly to comments and questions on social media and other platforms where the video is shared. Encourage viewers to share their own experiences or thoughts related to the case study.

8. Case Study Promotion

Highlight the case study video prominently on your website. Incorporate it into sales presentations and pitches to showcase real success stories. Leverage the video in email marketing campaigns to engage with your subscribers. Share it across all relevant social media channels and communities, harnessing the power of social proof to influence potential customers.

By following these outlined steps, you’ll be well-prepared to create a captivating and effective video case study that not only tells a compelling story but also drives results for your business.

10 top tips for video case studies that succeed

Now that you have a solid background on the fundamentals of case studies and how to bring them to life in video, let’s dig a little deeper and discuss some of the keys to creating winning case studies.

Find an engaging story

Find a story with depth to carry the video. We have all been to movies or read a book where the plot is thin or non-existent. A video case study needs to have a plot. It can’t be business as usual; something needs to happen, or no one will care. Is there a problem that was solved? Did you find a better way to accomplish a task? Break into new markets? It helps if the story is about a company or individual whose name people know. Of course, that might not be possible. An interesting, smaller company or unique person can also be engaging.

Camera-friendly interviewees

Video case studies often include real people. The engineer or scientist who made an amazing discovery. The shop floor worker who found a better way to make a product. The customer service representative who solved a problem. People do great work, but can they be engaging on camera? Look for those who are excited to tell their story. Watch to see if they have good eye contact and answer questions concisely. Most people need some coaching, so be sure you have a professional interviewer. They will put people at ease and know when they hear that perfect soundbite.

Choose the right format

There are several formats that can work to make great case studies. Interesting interviews can carry a story by weaving them together. This requires a well-thought-out storyline and a producer who knows how to get interviews that tell the complete story.

A second option is to combine narrative and soundbites. We pick the most interesting soundbites and then write narrative transitions as needed. Narrative can be helpful because it shortens up and crystallizes what might be lengthy explanations by interviewees.

The final option is all narrative. This gives you complete control of the story and the video production supports it.

Great visuals

You know the old saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words?” It’s true. Sometimes it’s easy to capture visuals. People working on cool machines. A bustling office or factory. A time-lapse of something being built or installed. Think about the visual opportunities you have to support the content of the interviews. At CK and CO, we can help decide what to shoot… and how to “make video” when the settings are limited.

Use motion graphics

Some video case studies are about concepts or elements that cannot be seen. Take, for example, the transfer of data to the cloud. You can’t see it, but you know it happens. Motion graphics can illustrate things we can’t see or visualize complex processes and procedures. They can also spice up videos to make them even more appealing.

Impressive results

Viewers love “wow” statistics. As you tell your story, it’s important to share tangible results. For example:

Did you reduce costs by 30% or increase productivity?

Did you get a return on your investment in half the projected time?

Have you improved employee retention by 20%?

You get the idea. Brag about what you have achieved. Sometimes, it is too soon to know the results of your story. In that case, you might include a vision statement about what you hope to achieve.

High content. Short timeframe.

We live in a world where Twitter and Instagram have influenced how we consume information. Whether or not you use these tools the mindset today is, “give it to me now, give it to me fast and don’t make me think about it.” As a result, your viewers expect a video case study that provides high content in a short timeframe. Every word is important, and when coupled with great visuals, you can get your message across in far less time than you might think.

Create alternate versions of the same story.

Meaty stories beg for more time. The truth is that audiences vary in how much time they are willing to devote to a video. At CK and CO, we often create several versions of a case study using the same raw video. We might create a longer piece (5:00-6:00) for use in a face-to-face opportunity. That same video content can be cut down to a shorter video (2:30-3:00) for use on a website. One length does not fit all. If you have spent the time and money to capture the story, consider your options.

Tease your video case study

Just as filmmakers cut movie trailers to generate interest in a film, you can “tease” your video case study. We often pull short compelling soundbites and package them into media shorts. These :15-:30 videos end with a call to action to view the entire video.

Add a whitepaper

While it’s true that many people prefer video to print, don’t miss an opportunity. Create a short whitepaper to accompany your video case study. The whitepaper should not be a transcript of the video, but instead should complement it. This is the place for highly technical elements and background information that does not translate well to video.

Video case studies are an effective tool for engaging potential customers and telling your company’s story. So, consider how you might use them to tell your story.

Where to use video case studies

We discussed this briefly above in the “how to” section, but it’s worth revisiting in more detail. Once you’ve put the finishing touches on your case study video you need to get it out to the world. But where exactly should you be promoting it?

1. Your Website

Embed the video case study prominently on your website’s homepage or a dedicated landing page to make it easily accessible to visitors. Having a dedicated section or page for all your case studies can provide a convenient reference point for interested prospects.

2. Social Media

Share the video on your compa ny’s social media profiles, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Optimize the video for each platform’s specifications, and actively engage with your audience through comments, likes, and shares to increase its visibility and reach.

3. Email Marketing

Include the video case study in your email marketing campaigns, especially when targeting segments of your email list interested in the topic. Additionally, use the video in email signatures to add a dynamic touchpoint to your email correspondence.

4. Sales and Marketing Presentations

Integrate the video into your sales pitches and marketing presentations. By doing so, you can provide real-world examples of your product or service’s success, which can be highly persuasive during client interactions.

5. Content Marketing

Incorporate the video into your content marketing strategy by using it in blog posts, articles, or other written content related to the case study’s topic. You can also create teaser content from snippets or excerpts of the video to pique the interest of your audience and direct them to the full video for more in-depth information.

These strategic placements will help you maximize the visibility and impact of your video case study across different channels and engage your target audience effectively.

  • Why it works: With this case study, viewers understand how the Charlotte Streetcar is helping bring a city together – connecting diverse neighborhoods and making them more accessible for all. It also highlights the key features and benefits the city has come to appreciate from the Siemens Mobility Streetcar.
  • Key takeaway(s): Customers are often your biggest promoter – if you have a project that has gone well, further build the relationship by sharing the story together with your customers.

How to Create Highly Effective Case Study Videos

How to Create Highly Effective Case Study Videos

Case study videos and customer testimonials are a powerful way to highlight your customers' successes—along with how your company helps.

Case study videos are powerful tools for businesses looking to attract new clients and drive revenue. By using video, you add a personal element that’s difficult to achieve with a traditional, text-based case study.

Interviewing clients in case study videos humanizes your work and allows potential customers to better understand how your products and services solve real-world problems. When properly executed, a case study video showcases the value of your work and helps grow your business.

What is a Case Study Video?

What are the benefits of case study videos, the 3 types of case study videos, how to make a case study video in 10 simple steps, where to use case study videos, 3 of the best case study videos to inspire you.

A case study video is a piece of persuasive content that businesses use to illustrate the value of their products or services, through the telling of real customer success stories. It’s a customer testimonial video that adds authenticity to your marketing efforts.

Successful case study videos:

  • Include on-camera interviews with customers
  • Show how your business solves a specific customer problem
  • Use stats and figures to back up the customer’s story
  • Focus on the benefits, not the features

They’re an incredibly important type of video to have in your arsenal.

Blake Smith, Vidyard’s Creative Director, deep dives into the world of case study videos, explaining what they are and how to make an effective one. Along with Mat King, Vidyard’s Video Production Manager, he breaks down an example customer testimonial video to highlight what goes into creating a good one.

Case study videos can benefit your business by raising awareness about what you do and attracting new customers. Here are some of the reasons you should consider creating a case study video:

They’re persuasive: Having your customers deliver compelling reasons why your product works is powerful. Video is a direct and persuasive medium; viewers retain 95% of your messag e when they watch it in a video, and only 10% when reading it in text.

They’re engaging: Your target audience is more likely to watch a short video case study than to read a text version of it. That’s because video marketing is more engaging. Most buyers prefer to learn about a product through video compared with any other medium.

They’re emotional: Video case studies deliver personal testimonials directly from your customers, which helps establish an emotional connection with the viewer. Connecting a human face to a story is powerful, and 95% of our decisions are subconsciously driven by our emotions.

They’re versatile: You can use a video case study across a variety of marketing channels, and you can even edit specific scenes and lines to use for other purposes, like for social media. Unless your products change drastically, case study videos offer evergreen content that stays relevant for years.

checklist graphic

There are three main types of case study video that your business can produce, with different levels of complexity:

  • Customer Testimonial: A customer testimonial is a straightforward, to-the-point video interview where you ask questions to the customer about their experience with your products. You’ll only need one shoot location and minimal editing to deliver a finished video.
  • Customer Review: A customer review video is another simple but effective execution. Instead of focusing on a clear narrative, your customer can speak to specific features of your products, and how they benefited from using those features.
  • Case Study Narrative: A case study narrative is the most complex type of case study video. It involves a mix of on-camera interviews with customers, B-roll visuals and can even include graphics and font treatments. It requires more shoot time and editing than the other video types.

With the correct approach and proper planning, your case study video can boost your sales and bring in new business. Follow these 10 steps to make a compelling case study video for your company.

1. Think Like a Potential Customer

The first step in creating a case study video is to develop a detailed plan with your target audience in mind. The more specific you can be in identifying the intended audience, the better prepared you’ll be to address their specific goals and pain points. Even if your product appeals to a wide audience, your case study should speak to one specific segment of that market.

2. Ask the Important Questions

Ask yourself what problem your target audience is experiencing, and how your business solves that problem. This will help you develop the key message of your video, and build a story around it. To help identify these problems and solutions, ask yourself questions such as:

  • What do my customers care about?
  • What do I offer customers that competitors don’t?
  • Why do customers use my products and services?
  • What do I help customers achieve?

3. Choose the Right Customer

Now that you have key messaging for your video, you can start identifying customers who suit the narrative you developed. The following criteria can help you narrow down your cast of possible characters:

  • They should fit with the video’s target audience
  • They should have a compelling, personal story to share
  • They should be comfortable and engaging on camera
  • They should have statistics to back up their story

Once you’ve identified a perfect fit, you’ll need to approach them with your request. When you approach a customer, be clear about what you’re asking them to do, ease their concerns and let them be involved in the process. You can also sweeten the deal by offering something in return: Maybe the B-roll you gather would be valuable for their own marketing efforts, for example.

Another option is to ask customers to record video testimonials on their own time, with easy-to-use software like Vidyard Chrome extension . That way they can shoot the video when it’s convenient, and quickly share the link with you.

Global human capital management (HCM) software company Ceridian, put the human impact of their products front and center in this case study video featuring the Blue Man Group.

Ceridian’s video does a particularly good job of using B-roll to highlight the creative nature of their customer’s business and explain the challenges they experience—along with how their product helps.

4. Plan Out the Story Arc

Case study videos need to tell a story. Developing a story arc helps translate your key messaging into a compelling narrative for viewers. A recent study on the power of brand storytelling found that nearly 80% of adults think brands should tell stories as part of their marketing efforts. In developing your story arc, you should map out your video’s four main stages:

  • Introduce the character: Identify the hero of your video. For a video case study, the protagonist will be your customer. Though the video may include more than one person from the featured company, choose one person to focus your narrative on. Your main character should be relatable and engaging.
  • Identify the problem: Next, establish the story’s conflict. With a brand story video, the conflict is the pain point your main character experiences. It’ll make your case study more relevant to your target audience.
  • Explain the solution: The solution shows viewers how your product helped the customer overcome challenges. While the narrative is crucial, you may also want to use statistics to back up your customer’s success to make the point even more persuasive.
  • Provide a resolution: The resolution of your story should include next steps for the viewer. What do you want them to do next? Include a clear call to action at the end of the video.

5. Conduct Background Interviews

Before you start shooting, conduct background interviews with your customer. This will give you a better sense of the responses you’ll get on camera and how they fit into your narrative.

Conducting pre-interviews will familiarize your customer with the questions you’ll ask them, so they can hone their storytelling before appearing on camera. It’ll also help you perfect your list of interview questions.

Here are some questions to consider:

  • What does your business do? Who are your customers?
  • Where are you located? How long have you been in business?
  • What challenges did you face before coming to us?
  • Why did you decide to use our products?
  • What differentiates us from our competitors?
  • What’s it like to use our products?
  • What’s it like to work with us?
  • How have you benefited from using our product?

If possible, conduct your background interview(s) over video conferencing software or in-person. This will give you a good sense of how comfortable your potential subjects might be on camera and help you to choose people to feature in your case study video.

6. Write Your Script

You don’t have to be a professional writer to develop a script for your video. Using your story arc as a guide, build out a script that tells the story of your case study.

Introduce the character, give background information, outline the details of the problems they faced and how your product helped address those problems.

Stick to the point and use a concise, conversational style. After all, 68% of people prefer to learn about products and services through short-form videos.

Pro Tip:  Use Vidyard’s free video script timer tool to find out how long your script will be when you read it out loud (and edit accordingly).

7. Back it Up With Stats

While developing your script, identify areas where you can back up the story with hard facts. If your customer has statistics about how your product increased sales, drove conversions, or resulted in other measurable outcomes, include those numbers in your script.

Consider using graphs or other visual elements to highlight the figures on screen. Whether you get the customer to physically stand in front of a chart or you add it in post-production, this can be a great way to highlight the value of your offering.

8. Choose a Shoot Location

Where you shoot is a big part of the overall look and feel of your final case study video. Determine what location is best suited for the particular story your video will tell.

The shoot location may depend on your customer’s industry: If they work in tech, it probably makes sense to shoot in their office. But, if your customer works in a hands-on field like construction or community development, you might want to film outdoors to capture the action.

9. Develop a Shot List

Plan ahead by putting together a list of all the shots you’d like to record. For every scene in your script, identify how it should be shot. Your script can help guide your shot list.

For interview videos , you may want to try a variety of angles and shot sizes, from close ups to medium shots. Plan out B-roll shots as well, so you don’t miss any important content.

10. Sweat the Details on the Day of the Shoot

There are also a few key considerations you’ll want to remember on the day of the shoot, to make sure everything runs smoothly. Don’t forget to:

  • Choose a quiet, well-lit location for your on-camera interviews
  • Instruct interview subjects to answer your questions using full sentences, since the questions will be edited out of the final cut
  • Gather a variety of B-roll footage that shows the shoot location, the character working, shots of your products in use, and more—it will come in handy when you’re looking to add interesting visuals to the final cut.
  • Overestimate the amount of time you’ll need to shoot so you aren’t rushing to capture everything

Don’t have room in your budget for a full-out case study video? You don’t have to have professional camera equipment or the funds to visit a customer in another location to get the value out of this type of video.

Try asking happy customers to record a short testimonial video using their webcam. You can provide them with a list of basic questions to direct what topics they focus on.

Vidyard’s Chrome extension is a free, easy-to-use tool that makes creating customer testimonial videos a breeze.

Once you have a compelling final product, you’ll need to consider how to get it in front of your target audience. Luckily, case study videos are versatile pieces of content that you can use across a variety of marketing channels. Here are some options to consider:

  • Embed the case study video on your website, either on the homepage or a dedicated case study page
  • Include the video in a marketing email to send out to your leads
  • Share the case study on your social media accounts
  • Incorporate the video into sales pitches and presentations
  • Expand your reach by promoting the video in a digital ad campaign

These three compelling case study video examples can help motivate you to create captivating testimonials of your own.

1. Zoom Testimonial from Zendesk

This is a great example of a well-produced, well-told case study narrative. It provides a good mix of interviews with customers and B-roll showing how they use the product. The interviews focus on problems the company faced and how Zoom solved those issues, rather than listing its features. The video is short enough that viewers won’t lose interest, but that it still tells a full story.

2. Google AdWords Case Study

This video is a great example of how getting out of an office setting can make for a visually engaging case study video. The main character is relatable and comfortable on camera. She’s great at telling the story of how Google AdWords helped grow her business and seamlessly includes stats in her narrative. The supporting cast of dog extras doesn’t hurt, either.

3. Slack’s Unique Take on the Case Study

If you still aren’t convinced that case study videos can be fun and engaging, this humorous example from Slack should do the trick. This is a different kind of case study video, because it’s fully scripted, but it shows how important it is to tell a strong, relatable story. The video does a great job of integrating Slack’s features and benefits into on-camera interviews. And it illustrates how a bit of humor can go a long way toward convincing customers to invest in your product.

Ultimate Guide to Case Study Videos in 2023

A case study (or three) may be the secret ingredient your video marketing strategy is missing. If the last time you heard ‘case study’ mentioned was the days you were slaving over your schoolwork, think again! Case studies, particularly when put in the evergreen and easily-accessible form of a video, offer your clients and potential clients a great way to understand the value-added nature of your brand, and build trust too.

Today the StoryXpress team dives in-depth into the world of case study videos, and how to make them work for you.

Wait- What is a Case Study?

In the marketing world, a case study means a detailed analysis of a particular marketing campaign, strategy, or initiative undertaken by a company or organization. You can also effectively use the case study format to illustrate in-depth how a specific product or service you offer gives back tangible value to your customers.

What marketing case studies share in common with the ‘boring’ style you may remember from academia is the process. You will examine the process, results, and impact of a marketing effort, service, or product in a particular context, often including information about the company or client who benefited, targets to meet, competition, and goals.

Case studies are a fantastic tool to illustrate how a specific approach was successful (or even unsuccessful, if you’re smart about presentation), and to draw insights and lessons that can be applied to others. While they were once only used in ‘in-house’ marketing education, today they can be a valuable addition to your marketing lineup, as well as further consulting and research to help companies offer their clients more.

How Can Video Case Studies Be Used in My Marketing?

Still not sure what we mean? Imagine yourself as the company bringing to life the very best HEPA-certified vacuum on the market. It’s new, it’s exciting, and it can revolutionize how your clients clean and enjoy their spaces.

Of course, you already have some smart marketing endeavors in place to get this baby launched. You’ve waxed lyrical about how revolutionary the product is.

You’ve spent time creating some humanizing behind-the-scenes video to show how strongly you and your team believe in the product. You have glitzy promo media in the bag. You have fantastic user-generated content lined up to show the impact it’s had on customers who’ve already trusted your product….

Hang on a moment!

If you’re still not sure how a ‘case study’ can be leveraged to help you market your brand, perhaps we should redefine it. Video case studies help the eventual viewer understand how something you did impacted the client you did it for.

With specific, tangible details, not marketing abstracts. Useful in-house to improve your services, yes, excellent for research, but also a potential goldmine for the marketer looking to showcase their brand to new people, too.

How to Leverage Video Case Studies Effectively

Now imagine your company can also bring to life a real, details-focused ‘study’ of how your new super-vacuum has enhanced clients' lives. Not merely a few lines of feedback here and there, but an in-depth look at a real-life situation and the very tangible solution you brought to the table.

Let’s imagine you sold this product to Johnny and Jane, star-crossed lovers, one of whom has terrible allergies, and the other who has a beloved dog. They desperately want to move in with each other to start their life together, but what are they to do? The dog is a precious and beloved family member, but you also can’t pitch up at work red-eyed and dripping every day.

Now imagine that, instead of simply telling your audience how your super-vacuum can help people like Johnny and Jane, you viscerally show them the impact you had on this specific pair, with real stories that will capture emotion and humanize your product as well as showcase its best features and potential.

The StoryXpress team is willing to bet you already care a lot more about the outcome for poor old Johnny and Jane (and Fido, too) than you ever did about a mere cleaning tool, right? And therein lies the marketing magic smart video case studies can bring to your table.

There’s three styles of video case study to consider- the long-form narrative, telling the whole story. And the shorter customer testimonial and review. Each will become a cornerstone of your video marketing strategies, so they’re worth investing in.

Why Choose Video Case Studies?

Of course, the traditional case study is written, and such readable media will always have a place in your marketing efforts. But the case study and video go hand-in-hand, and a video case study can pack a much more powerful punch.

Video is a powerful marketing tool because it can  communicate a lot of information quickly and effectively, while also engaging viewers emotionally.

Video is highly attention-grabbing, and can capture a viewer's attention quickly. It combines visuals, audio, and storytelling to create an immersive experience that keeps viewers engaged, appealing to all our senses and disseminating a message speedily.

Video can be used to build trust with your audience by showcasing the people involved, as well as your brand's personality, expertise, and values. Seeing real people and hearing their stories creates an immediate emotional connection with your brand.

It’s also a great way to explain complex concepts or products in a way that is easy to understand, making it perfect to demonstrate how a product works or showcase its features.

For marketers, video has been shown to increase conversions and sales. People are more likely to make a purchase or take action after watching a video than they are after reading text or looking at images, because of this deep impact.

Video can be easily shared on social media and other platforms, helping to increase engagement and reach. Videos that are entertaining, informative, or emotionally engaging are more likely to be shared.

So by opting for a video case study over other formats, you have the perfect vehicle to draw in your potential audience and help them see and understand the benefits of your products or services in a palatable, entertaining, and easily-digestible format.

Aren’t Videos Expensive?

Videos can be one of the most expensive (and time-intensive) content types to generate, but when well-planned and executed, they can also deliver fantastic ROI. While we’d all love to have a Hollywood budget to work with, however, that’s simply not the reality. Luckily, there’s a lot you can do to bring down your costs.

Planning well will always be your first step. Create a clear video marketing strategy and plan ahead to avoid any last-minute expenses or delays. This can help you identify areas where you can save costs, such as filming in one location or using a smaller crew. We’ll look at the right sort of footage for a video case study in a moment.

Ensuring you use the equipment at your disposal smartly helps, too. A good camera, tripod, and lighting equipment can go a long way in creating great videos, even without the fancy bells and whistles.

You may also be able to repurpose existing footage from previous projects, events, or other marketing campaigns to create new videos, helping to save time and money on filming and editing. Chances are you already have great promo footage to use in your case study video, so don’t reinvent the wheel needlessly.

While professional editing can be worth every penny, it’s also not always needed- especially for ‘behind the scenes’, personality-driven content like this. There are many affordable video editing software programs available that can help you create professional-looking videos.

Don’t forget the StoryXpress suite of tools, available at your fingertips! For example, our screen-grab tool could help you create data-backed visuals.

AI Offers Quicker, More Cost-Effective Case Studies

But what about ‘talent’? Well, for starters, in this specific format, real is always best. Why blow your budget on fake actors, when you can get the real Johnny and Jane on-camera to talk about their experience, and your real team to talk about the product?

You can also leverage the powerful abilities of text to video conversion to both speed up production time and reduce your costs substantially. All that’s needed is the script for your footage. It is uploaded to the program, and within minutes you’ll have realistic artificial humans, easily adaptable to speak compellingly to any demographic or need you have, to narrate the script for you.

You can even easily create multiple versions of the same script, better suited to niche aspects of your audience. The more powerful options on the market even allow you to add value by converting PowerPoint slides and other visual media to incorporate into the narrative.  

If you’re looking for a way to make video content faster and more cost-effective to generate, using AI video generators should definitely be on your to-do list.

By being strategic and creative with your video marketing efforts, you can reduce costs while still producing high-quality and effective videos.

What Makes a Successful Case Study Video?

Obviously, the aim of using video case studies in your marketing efforts isn’t to drone on like a research scientist and bore the pants off your audience! As with all effective video marketing, you need to create an attention-grabbing, compelling narrative that pulls the viewer in. Here are some components every successful case study video should have:

  • Think like the customer, not the creator. Answer questions that matter to them, and demonstrate the value of your product or service.
  • Tell a compelling story that engages the viewer and highlights the key elements of the case study. It should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, and should showcase the challenges, solutions, and outcomes of the case study. Going back to our earlier example, the focus of your new case study video isn’t how great your product is, but rather the heart-tugging power of how it could help bring Johnny, Jane, and Fido together for their happily ever after. To your viewers, a vacuum is a vacuum- but a touching story of overcoming difficulties together is what will make people keep watching to learn about yours.
  • Leverage the power of customer testimonials, where the customer shares their experience and how the product or service helped them to achieve their goals. This helps to build credibility and trust with the audience. Don’t tell us about Johnny and Jane- let them speak directly to your audience for added impact.
  • Show how you solve a specific problem. Your product may do many things well, but use your video case study to hone in on a specific unique selling proposition and elaborate on that. Don’t muddy the water with other things unrelated to the core.
  • Instead of making this all about your product's features, emphasize the benefits it brings to the table.
  • Include a mix of visuals such as graphics, charts, and animations to help illustrate the key points and make the video more engaging. Appealing to as many ‘learning styles’ as possible is always smart.
  • Use stats, figures, and data to back up your claims. For all we are trying to appeal to the watcher, you don’t want to be making false claims, and you want to be able to demonstrate exactly what your unique selling propositions bring to the table.
  • The messaging in a case study video should be clear and concise. It should highlight the key benefits and outcomes of the product or service, and how it can help the viewer solve their challenges. Don’t waffle- make the facts work for you.

Of course, your video should be well-produced with high-quality visuals and audio. A successful case study video should also include a clear call to action , such as visiting your website, signing up for a free trial, or contacting your company for more information.

Where Can I Use My Video?

Now you have this powerful marketing tool in the bag, what can you do with it? Rather ask yourself what you can’t, because the potential for your new case study is huge. Of course, it should make it to your website and socials, but can also be easily added to marketing emails, sales pitches, presentations , and digital ad campaigns.

With the power of video case studies at your fingertips, and StoryXpress to power up your creation game, you can take your video marketing to a whole new level- and reap the returns for your hard work, too.

How to create case study videos that convert new customers.

case study videos

Video is a powerful sales tool, and using the words of your satisfied customers in a video makes your videos even more successful.

Showing potential customers the experiences of others just like themselves on tape lends a humanizing quality to your business. Your potential customers see that your product or service does what you promise on your website, making them more likely to do business with you.

In this article, we’ll cover the basics of what case study videos are, why they’re important for your business, and how to create your own creative testimonial videos: 

Table of Contents

What is a case study video, why case study videos are important, types of case study videos to use, case study video template: creative case study videos in 10 steps, where to use your case study videos.

A case study video is a persuasive video businesses use to showcase the value of their products and services by utilizing real customer stories. These customer stories, known as testimonials, give your case study videos — and your claims about your business’s offerings — authenticity.

To be considered a great testimonial video, it must:

  • Include on-camera interviews with customers, telling stories of their experience with your product or service
  • Show how your business solves a specific customer issue
  • Use statistics, figures, and information that back up the story the customer tells
  • Focus on the benefits of your product or service, not its features

Case study videos can be created for virtually any industry or type of business, and they offer a variety of benefits that other types of marketing videos and materials cannot.

Customer testimonial videos

When you create and share a case study video, it raises awareness about the impact of your product or service, not just the features that you tout in your other marketing materials.

Here are some reasons you should make creating customer testimonial videos part of your video marketing strategy :

They’re Persuasive

It’s all well and good for you to tell your potential customers how they’ll benefit from using your product or service, but the stories your satisfied customers can tell are far more persuasive.

In addition to the words spoken in your case study video, choosing video over text testimonials is powerful.

Studies show that people retain only about 10% of what they read. So no matter how compelling the story you tell via the written word is, your visitors won’t retain much of the information.

Contrast that to a retention rate of about 95% for video and it’s easy to see why video case studies are influential for helping you meet your business goals.

They’re Engaging

For many consumers, reading an article is a time commitment they just don’t want to make. Instead, the vast majority – 72% by some accounts – would much rather watch a video containing the same information as a written article.

By putting your customer testimonials in a video, you get higher engagement from visitors , thereby making your efforts more effective in the long run.

They’re Emotional

Customer testimonial videos feature your customers’ experiences, helping them establish an emotional connection to the viewer.

Putting a human face to a story, especially one that focuses on how your products or services have helped the person in the video, is a powerful tool for marketing your business. 

Your video doesn’t have to immediately impact a viewer to be a worthy part of your marketing. An estimated 95% of purchasing decisions are subconsciously tied to emotions, so if your video can affect any emotional response in your viewers, it could lead to increased sales for you .

They’re Versatile

Video testimonials are endlessly useful across a variety of marketing channels.

You can post them on your website , share them on social media, and embed them in emails. But you don’t always have to use the entire video. You can edit specific scenes to utilize in social media campaigns or to add to other marketing videos.

customer review videos

There are three major types of case study videos you should consider adding to your video marketing strategy:

Customer Testimonial Video

This type of video is a fairly straightforward production and is among the easiest type of case study videos to produce.

In a customer testimonial video, you ask your customers questions about their experience with your business and how it impacted their life. Because the testimonial only requires you to sit down with your customer, you only need one shoot location and minimal editing to produce a video.

Customer Review Video

Similar to a customer testimonial video , a customer review video simply features one of your satisfied customers talking about your product or service.

However, a review video differs from a testimonial video in that, in a review video, your customer should focus more on the features of the product or service they’re reviewing instead of the value that product or service provided them.

Depending on your plans, this video may or may not include footage of the customer utilizing your product on camera.

The interview portion of the customer testimonial video requires just one shoot location and some minor editing. If you add footage of your product in use, the complexity of the shoot and editing increases.

Case Study Narrative Video

This is the most complex type of case study video.

A case study narrative video should include on-camera interviews with customers and some B-roll visuals, such as the customer using your product, or your team interacting with the customer. This type of video also may include graphics and font treatments.

Because it’s more complex, it requires more shoot time and strategy and a higher amount of editing.

corporate testimonial video

Once you have determined the type of case study video you want to create, it’s time to move into the planning stage.

Even if you think you’re just shooting a simple customer testimonial video and you can “wing it,” taking some time upfront to plan and prepare for the video creation process will pay off in the long run.

Here’s how to make a great testimonial video in 10 easy steps:

Think Like Your Ideal Custome r

Like any other marketing materials, you need to plan your case study video with your ideal customer in mind.

Be as specific as you can when thinking of your intended audience, as this will help you better plan, shoot, and edit the video so it has maximum impact. This includes identifying as many specific goals and pain point your ideal customer has, allowing you to ensure that you cover those items when shooting the video.

Even if your product appeals to a very wide audience, the more focused and narrow you can make the targeting on an individual video, the better your results will be.

Ask the Right Questions

To help you develop the key message of your video, you need to really understand the problem your target audience experiences and how your offering solves that problem.

Crafting this message means you need to ask yourself several questions, including:

  • What do my customers care about?
  • What does my business offer customers that our competition doesn’t?
  • Why do customers use my products or services?
  • What does my business help customers achieve?

As you answer these questions, you should see a pattern begin to emerge that points to a specific subset of your audience your video needs to target.

Choose the Right Featured Customer

With the key messaging for your video decided, identifying what customer to present your message to is the next important step.

To help you narrow down your list of options, use the following criteria:

  • They should fit with the video’s target audience. This could be because of a match in demographics, a shared problem, or other key characteristics both your customer and the audience share.
  • They should have a compelling personal story to share.
  • They should be comfortable talking and appearing on camera.
  • There should be data and information to back up their story, either provided by the customer or kept by your company.

After you’ve identified the best person for your customer testimonial video, approach them with your request. These requests are better done in person or over the phone, lending a personal touch to the request, but email will suffice in a pinch.

When you ask if they’d be willing to participate, be clear about what you’re asking them to do, including the amount of time they’ll need to dedicate to the process. Answer questions to alleviate their concerns, and let them be involved in the planning process as much as possible.

If necessary, you can offer something to help entice them to participate, such as a discount or even the B-roll video shot for your video which they can use in their own marketing.

For those who want to participate but may not be able to shoot in person due to distance or scheduling, you can ask them to record their own video testimonial and send it to you.

Plan Out Your Video

testimonial video examples

Part of what makes case study videos so compelling is the stories they tell.

To ensure that your video is telling the right story, you need to take time to plan out the story arc so everything makes sense.

As you plan out your video, keep the following four stages in mind:

  • Character introduction: The central “character” of your video should be the customer whose testimonial you are featuring. Make sure they are engaging and can tell a story that will resonate with your audience. While you may also include other people in your video, there should still be one central character who is the focus.
  • Establish conflict: Your video needs to present a conflict that your business helped your customer overcome. This conflict will be the main pain point that brought your customer to your business, the problem they were looking to solve.
  • Explain the solution: The solution shows your viewers how your product or service helped solve your customer’s problem. Even though the narrative of your customer’s story should be central to your video, backing up the things they’re saying with data and statistics makes the video more compelling.
  • Provide a resolution: Once you’ve shown how you solved your customer’s problem, you need to provide a way for the viewer to take action of their own. Whether you want them to book a consultation call, fill out a form, or purchase a product, make sure your video ends with a clear call-to-action and set of next steps.

Gather Background Interviews

Now that you have the video’s arc planned out, you want to shoot a series of test background interviews with your customer.

These videos will give you a better idea of the responses you’ll get on camera when you’re actually shooting the video and can help you better define your video’s script. Additionally, these videos are a way to help familiarize your customer with the questions you’ll be asking and how they can answer those questions in a way that’s camera-friendly.

Whenever possible, conduct these background interviews in-person or over video conferencing software to get your subject used to answering questions for a camera.

Some questions to consider asking during this stage include:

  • What does your business do?
  • Who are your customers?
  • Where are you located, and how long have you been in business?
  • What challenges did you face before coming to us?
  • Why did you decide to use our products or services?
  • What makes us different from our competitors?
  • What’s it like to use our products or to work with us?
  • How have you benefited from using our products or services?

Write the Script

You may be tempted to hire a professional writer to handle this portion of your video planning process, but you don’t need to be a pro to write a great customer testimonial video script! In fact, you may be better suited than an outsider to write your video’s script because of your intimate knowledge of your business and what brought your customer in your door.

Using the story arc you planned out and the background interviews you conducted as a guide, put pen to paper and write down the script for your video. Make sure you follow your arc and leave space for the interview portions of your script.

As you’re writing, remember that you don’t have to be long-winded to be effective; in fact, a majority of consumers prefer short-form videos to longer ones .

If you’re concerned with how long your video will be in the end, time yourself slowly reading the script and cut as needed to get it within the time limit you’re shooting for.

Add in Stats and Facts

Your customer’s story is a powerful marketing tool, but the ability to add in facts and data about how your product or service helped them only amplifies its impact.

As you’re writing and revising your script, look for places where you can add facts and figures that either you or the client provides. This information should relate to things such as how your product or service helped them increase sales, increase customer conversions, or some other measurable action.

While you could just read these numbers out during your video, they will stick more in the minds of your viewers if you put them on the screen somehow. Consider either putting a chart physically next to your customer as they talk about the stats, or adding a graphic during post-production.

Choose Your Shoot Location

Where you opt to shoot your video has a big impact on the overall look and feel of your case study video.

You want to choose a location that’s not too visually boring, but also not so busy that it distracts from the subject of your video. You also need to find a place that’s not going to be so noisy it will cause issues with the sound as you’re shooting.

The industry your customer works in may help determine your shooting location, too.

If they’re an attorney, shooting in their office may be ideal. For someone who works a more active job, such as construction, shooting outdoors might make sense.

Draw up a Shot List

Sit down with your video script and plan out a list of the shots you want to get, including angles, so you can walk into the shoot ready to go.

For your interview segments, try to plan out a variety of angles and shot sizes to create some visual interest since they’ll all include your customer. Also, plan out your B-roll video so that you don’t risk missing something that could really make your video pop.

Don’t Forget Day-of Details

As you wrap up the planning of your customer testimonial video and move into the filming stage, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Check the noise level and lighting of your location before you begin shooting. There’s nothing worse than having to re-shoot everything once you realize there’s too much background noise or that your subject is in shadow the whole time.
  • Tell your interview subject to answer questions in full sentences, restating the question if necessary, rather than short words or phrases. Anything extra they say can be edited out of the video in post-production.
  • Plan to spend a significant amount of time collecting B-roll footage, including your customer at work, your products or services in action, and the shoot location. This video will come in handy as you’re editing your video to provide some visual interest.
  • Overestimate the amount of time you build into your schedule to shoot. It’s much better to wrap up early because you were able to capture everything than it is to rush to stay on schedule and worry about getting all the shots you need.

How to Create a Case Study Video

Once your video is shot and edited, you need to think about how to get it in front of your potential customers.

The good news is that case study videos are incredibly versatile, allowing you to use them in a variety of your marketing efforts.

Some ways to utilize your new corporate testimonial video include:

  • Embed it on your website, either on your homepage, on a specific product page, or on a page dedicated to customer testimonials
  • Include the video in marketing emails you send out to potential customers
  • Share it on your social media accounts
  • Add the video to your sales pitches and presentations
  • Promote the video in a digital advertising campaign

Creating a captivating, engaging customer focus video can help you sell your products and services more easily to new customers. Your customers already patronize your business, and they can tell great stories that will resonate with others who face similar problems.

While it may seem daunting at first to plan and shoot your own case study video, with a little bit of time and planning, you can create a video that will be useful for a variety of marketing purposes and help you increase your leads and sales.

5 impactful case study video examples you can make in 5 minutes

Mattison Hofstedt

November 15, 2023

People looking at a case study video.

Think creating impactful case study videos requires hours of filming and editing? Think again! We're about to show you that it's possible to craft compelling case study videos in as little as five minutes, using resources you already have.

In this article, we're excited to showcase five outstanding examples of case study videos that were crafted in mere minutes. Each example demonstrates how you can turn existing written content into a visually engaging and persuasive narrative, proving that effective marketing doesn't always require a lot of time or resources. Let's dive in!

Why case study videos matter

But first, let's address a crucial question: Why are case study videos so important? These videos are not just another marketing tool; they are a powerhouse of storytelling that can significantly boost your brand's credibility and customer engagement.

89% say that watching a video convinced them to buy something.

Videos can simplify complex information, making it easier for potential clients to understand the value proposition. A well-executed case study video can act as a persuasive testimonial, driving more leads to convert. 

91% of folks want to see more videos from brands in 2023.

Sharing success stories humanizes a brand. When existing clients see their stories being showcased, it fosters a sense of pride and loyalty. For potential clients, seeing real-life success stories in video builds trust and credibility.

Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video compared to 10% when reading it in text

Videos are more engaging than text. With the right storytelling techniques, a case study video can keep viewers hooked till the end, increasing the chances of them taking the desired action.

Myth busting: You don't need client footage

Now, let's debunk a common myth: You don't need extensive footage of your clients speaking to create an impactful case study video. The secret lies in leveraging the written case studies you already possess. 

By combining this existing text with relevant images, be it supporting visuals or simple headshots of your clients, you can narrate a compelling story. This approach not only eases the process for you but also respects the privacy and time constraints of your clients, who may be hesitant or unable to participate in video recordings.

5 fast and effective case study video examples

Now we’re going to show you 5 outstanding case study video examples crafted in mere minutes. Each demonstrates turning written content into engaging, persuasive narratives, proving effective marketing doesn't always need extensive resources.

Example 1: Challenge, Solution, Impact

The structured approach.

The Challenge-Solution-Impact format is a classic yet powerful structure for case study videos. It's simple: just fill in key details under each heading. We combine industry-relevant footage with images of the individuals behind each case study, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with viewers.

Example 2: Authentic Testimonials

Customer voices amplify your brand.

There's nothing quite like a customer's perspective to make your offerings relatable. Quick testimonial videos lend credibility and build trust in your brand. Easily produced, these videos gather customer insights through emails or forms, showcasing genuine experiences in a straightforward format.

Example 3: Powerful Single Quotes

A quote that speaks volumes.

Sometimes, a single, strong quote is all it takes to captivate and encourage further exploration. This format focuses on a standout quote that represents the essence of the customer's experience, making a lasting impression with just a few impactful words.

Example 4: Results-driven stories

Highlighting success stories.

Start with the end in mind - showcase the tangible results achieved by your clients. Whether it's a significant increase in LinkedIn followers or other measurable successes, using results as a narrative driver, complemented by supporting visuals, creates a compelling and aspirational story.

Example 5: Narrative storytelling

Engage with a story.

Narrate the customer journey as a story. This approach tends to capture attention more effectively than plain text, inviting viewers to follow a relatable and engaging narrative from start to finish.

How to Make a Powerful Case Study Video

A great case study video has a relatable speaker, data to back up the claims they’re making, and a structure that shows how your company was key to solving the problem the customer faced.

One of the best things to say in a testimonial video is a three-act, “before, during, and after” account of how your business addressed a pain point your clients can relate to — and how you made a lasting difference. You can make this story easier for potential customers to digest by asking the respondent to speak about their experience at each stage of the process.

1. Address the Problem

When you’re planning your case study videos, start by asking yourself who your ideal customer is and what problems they face. Use this knowledge to prioritize which customers you ask to record a case study video.

If a lot of people are struggling with an issue, and there are few potential solutions on the market, your case study can be extremely compelling. To emphasize how beneficial your product or service can be, ask your respondent to explain the issues they were facing before they discovered your business.

Try questions like:

  • What was the main challenge you needed to overcome with [your business]?
  • What problem was your company dealing with before [your business]?

2. Present the Solution

Once you’ve established the problem that needed to be solved, you can show how your business was able to help the respondent.

Questions like, “How did [your business] help resolve this challenge?”, or, “Could you describe a time that [your business] helped to overcome this problem?” , are a good place to start.

You might also find it helpful to ask the respondent to talk about how easy it was to implement your product or how enjoyable it was to work with your team.

3. Prove the Results

This section of the video persuades the viewer that the respondent’s positive experience can be repeated. You should focus on how much better the respondent feels now than they did in the situation they referenced in the first part of the video. If they have a continuing relationship with your company, or if they’re now loyal to your brand, get them to mention it here.

Try a question like “What has been the most significant impact of working with [your business]?” to encourage a detailed and thoughtful response. In addition, you might ask them to describe their experience in three words (and explain why they chose those three).

Ideally, your customer will also be able to give data to prove how much your business has helped them. Survey results, quotes from management, or statistics about increased sales or web traffic can be extremely helpful.

  • Customize a case-study-specific video collector to reflect your brand.
  • Send the collector to the customers whose stories you want to share.
  • Publish an automatically edited case study video (that you can lightly edit if you want) wherever you touch base with your audience (e.g., your website, emails, social media).

Let’s look at this process step-by-step.

1. Guide Customers through the Questions with a Video Collector

Vocal Video case studies and customer stories are built around authentic user-generated video content gathered with our customizable video collector. The video collector is the interface that will “interview” your customer and record their responses.

When you want to start collecting case study videos, head to your Vocal Video dashboard and create a new video collector for your campaign. Start from scratch or go to “New Video Collector” and choose from one of more than 45 industry-specific templates.

Example: B2B Case Study Video Collector

One of the best templates to use for case studies is the B2B Case Study video collector . The pre-set questions make it easy to create a case study with a strong three-act structure.

Three-act structure of questions.

Vocal Video users keep coming back to this template to record their own videos because the concise questions encourage the respondent to give helpful details while staying on message and holding the viewer’s attention.

Other Video Case Study Templates to Try

As well as the B2B Video Case Study template, you can try out another testimonial or customer success story template to create different types of case study videos.

The Customer Testimonial Videos template asks clients to describe your product in three words, explain how it helped them, and compare it to other products or services on the market.
The Ecommerce Testimonial Videos template focuses on a customer’s experience with your product and your company.
The Employee Video Testimonials template focuses on how your company has helped your staff to develop in their careers. As another use case, this can also provide a useful success story for recruitment .
The Customer Success Story Videos and Sales Success Story Videos templates can produce case studies to motivate and inspire your team.
The template for B2B Review Videos invites the respondent to talk about the challenges your product helped them overcome and explain the most significant impact your service has had.
The Real Estate Testimonial Videos template is designed specifically for real estate brokerages and teams, and individual realtors that need testimonials or case studies from their clients to use on websites and social media.

2. Choose the Right Customer to Contribute to a Case Study

When you’re happy with your collector, send it to the customers you want to feature.

A good case study candidate is approachable and comfortable on camera, but they don’t need any special skills, experience, or equipment to contribute. We’ll generate a URL that takes them straight to the collector. They’ll be able to open the link and record their video on a mobile device or with their webcam without downloading or installing any additional software.

Vocal Video on mobile vs desktop & tablet.

It’s best to ask for case study videos from clients you think your audience will relate to, people who have authority in your field, or influencers with followers in the same demographic as your target audience.

You can send the link by email, post it to your social media pages as an open call for customer stories, or use the link to make your video collector a permanent feature on your website that allows customers to record a case study video at any time. In the dashboard for your video collector, you can also add an incentive — like a discount or entry into a prize drawing — to encourage more people to record a video.

We recommend using a 3-touch email sequence to request testimonials from your happy customers.

  • The pre-ask , where you introduce the customer to the idea of recording a case study video and let them know how quick and easy the process is with Vocal Video.
  • The invitation , where you send the link to respondents who said yes and give a preview of the questions they’ll be asked.
  • The reminder , to follow up with people who received the link to the collector but haven’t recorded their case study yet.

You can read more about our proven email sequence — including a full template text to use —  in the Vocal Video Help Center.

Whenever someone records a case study video, you’ll get a notification that the video has arrived, automatically edited and ready to share, in your library .

3. Edit the Videos to Add More Context and Data

Using Vocal Video to make video case studies means you can skip the time and expense of working with a professional editor to put your case study videos together. You won’t even need to install a video editor like DaVinci or Creative Cloud. Vocal Video makes the process quick and intuitive by automatically editing the video response and giving you easy-to-use tools to tweak the results.

With automatic editing, your case study video arrives in your library with:

  • Your logo and brand colors to identify the case study with your company
  • Question cards and animations for smooth transitions between scenes
  • Text overlays to identify the respondent.
  • Subtitles so the video can be viewed without sound, and the option of using a full AI-generated transcript to support the video
  • Music from our selection of royalty-free tracks

Here’s an example of a video that shows the best video editing features in action:

Vocal Video’s editing suite also lets you change the way your video case study looks and sounds. You can reorder the scenes, add clips from other speakers, trim the clips, or try out different themes, colors, fonts, and music.

You can also use these editing tools to show the viewer extra data to back up the information your respondent has given.

Vocal Video editor.

When you click “Add Scene” in the video editor, you’ll have the choice of adding video footage from your files, a clip from another speaker who recorded a video with your collector, or a slide with text.

Select a scene type.

Text slides can give extra context to set up the beginning of your case study, or you can use them to show statistics, data, graphs, or surveys to prove the results your customer saw when they worked with you.

You can adjust the scene length — which is the amount of time the viewer has to read the information — and the text slide will be smoothly integrated into the video with our animated transitions to create a great video case study that makes a professional and convincing impression.

When your video is finished, you’ll be able to share it with your audience on social media, on your website, or with your mailing list (more on how to do this later) .

Generate Helpful Written Case Studies in Seconds

Our research shows marketing teams that use video testimonials see a significant lift compared to those who use written marketing materials alone. This being said, there are some great reasons to use written case studies alongside the videos you produce with Vocal Video.

For example, written case studies let you…

  • Include quotes from customer stories in the printed marketing materials you distribute by mail or in person.
  • Make the case study pages of your website more accessible for people using text readers
  • Make it easier for people scanning your website to find the information they need.
  • Include a cluster of keywords related to your product in a text that can be crawled by search engines, helping to increase organic traffic to your website.

With Vocal Video, you can access an automatically generated transcript to speed up the process of creating written case studies. This makes it quick and easy to generate a blog post, news item, or PDF of your customer’s story, letting you take a two-for-one testimonial writing approach to using your case studies in your marketing.

Every video arrives in your library with a complete, AI-generated transcript. You can edit the transcript in the Vocal Video dashboard before copying or downloading it to use on the platform of your choice. What’s more, Vocal Video’s localization ability means that videos recorded in 23 different languages can be transcribed in full.

Here's a full transcript of your video.

As a final flourish, you can use your favorite line from the transcript as an eye-catching featured quote and present your case study as a video card. Our video cards are great for home pages, landing pages , signup pages , or testimonial galleries. The featured quote acts as a teaser to encourage people to watch the video in full, or as a summary for those who can’t watch right now.

Use Vocal Video Case Studies at Every Point in Your Marketing Efforts

Case study videos are a versatile resource for your video marketing team. Because they use the authentic voices of your satisfied customers, they’re one of the best ways to convince potential customers of the benefits of your product and build trust in your brand — whether you use them on a permanent website page or in social media marketing campaigns.

With versatile options for sharing and embedding, Vocal Video makes it simple to share case studies on all your digital marketing channels.

Embed Case Study Videos on Your Website

Many B2B companies have a permanent case study section on their website. Take a look at the video examples in this case study gallery from Vocal Video users Atlas Cloud .

"Our latest case studies" webpage.

For each case study, Atlas Cloud seamlessly embeds the customer story they collected with Vocal Video on the webpage.

Vocal Video case study on website.

It’s easy to add testimonials to your own website when you generate them with Vocal Video, even if you’ve never coded before.

Once you’ve published a video from your dashboard, go to “Embed” and decide whether you’d like to embed just the video (as Atlas Cloud did above) or if you’d like to make a video card with a featured quote.

Once you’re happy with the preview, click “Copy Embed Code” and paste the code we generate for you into a new HTML block on the page where you want the case study to appear.

Remember, you can also copy and paste the full transcript of your video to create a dedicated case study website page.

Send High-Quality Case Study Videos to Your Customers’ Inboxes

To send your case study videos to your customers, publish the video and then go to “Share” to see your options.

Share options.

Let’s start with sharing the URL for the public Vocal Video page where your video is published.

You can edit the URL and give the video a new title, or simply copy the link we generate for you. This is a great way to share your videos in marketing emails, newsletters, or on internal messaging platforms like Slack. When they click the URL, your customer will be taken to the public page, where they can watch the video in full and — if the subtitles are turned on — read the full transcript underneath.

You can see these features in action on the public page for this testimonial for Hexmodal .

Post Case Study Videos on Social Media

Vocal Video makes it easier to find new clients by sharing case studies with your audience on social media. After you click “Share,” simply head to Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, write a caption to introduce your video, and post.

For example, the Product-Led Alliance shares Vocal Video testimonials from their employees as part of their LinkedIn marketing strategy.

Product-Led Alliance on LinkedIn.

If you would rather share your video case study as a Reel on Facebook, on your Instagram profile, on TikTok, or on YouTube, Solo, Team, and Pro Vocal Video plans also give you the option of downloading your videos to add to any of these popular platforms.

16 case study examples (+ 3 templates to make your own)

Hero image with an icon representing a case study

I like to think of case studies as a business's version of a resume. It highlights what the business can do, lends credibility to its offer, and contains only the positive bullet points that paint it in the best light possible.

Imagine if the guy running your favorite taco truck followed you home so that he could "really dig into how that burrito changed your life." I see the value in the practice. People naturally prefer a tried-and-true burrito just as they prefer tried-and-true products or services.

To help you showcase your success and flesh out your burrito questionnaire, I've put together some case study examples and key takeaways.

What is a case study?

A case study is an in-depth analysis of how your business, product, or service has helped past clients. It can be a document, a webpage, or a slide deck that showcases measurable, real-life results.

For example, if you're a SaaS company, you can analyze your customers' results after a few months of using your product to measure its effectiveness. You can then turn this analysis into a case study that further proves to potential customers what your product can do and how it can help them overcome their challenges.

It changes the narrative from "I promise that we can do X and Y for you" to "Here's what we've done for businesses like yours, and we can do it for you, too."

16 case study examples 

While most case studies follow the same structure, quite a few try to break the mold and create something unique. Some businesses lean heavily on design and presentation, while others pursue a detailed, stat-oriented approach. Some businesses try to mix both.

There's no set formula to follow, but I've found that the best case studies utilize impactful design to engage readers and leverage statistics and case details to drive the point home. A case study typically highlights the companies, the challenges, the solution, and the results. The examples below will help inspire you to do it, too.

1. .css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class]{all:unset;box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-text-fill-color:currentColor;cursor:pointer;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class]{all:unset;box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;-webkit-transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;outline-offset:1px;-webkit-text-fill-color:currentColor;outline:1px solid transparent;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='ocean']{color:#3d4592;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='ocean']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='ocean']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='white']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='white']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='white']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='primary']{color:#3d4592;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='primary']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='primary']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='secondary']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='secondary']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-color='secondary']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-weight='inherit']{font-weight:inherit;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-weight='normal']{font-weight:400;}.css-1l9i3yq-Link[class][class][class][class][class][data-weight='bold']{font-weight:700;} Volcanica Coffee and AdRoll

On top of a background of coffee beans, a block of text with percentage growth statistics for how AdRoll nitro-fueled Volcanica coffee.

People love a good farm-to-table coffee story, and boy am I one of them. But I've shared this case study with you for more reasons than my love of coffee. I enjoyed this study because it was written as though it was a letter.

In this case study, the founder of Volcanica Coffee talks about the journey from founding the company to personally struggling with learning and applying digital marketing to finding and enlisting AdRoll's services.

It felt more authentic, less about AdRoll showcasing their worth and more like a testimonial from a grateful and appreciative client. After the story, the case study wraps up with successes, milestones, and achievements. Note that quite a few percentages are prominently displayed at the top, providing supporting evidence that backs up an inspiring story.

Takeaway: Highlight your goals and measurable results to draw the reader in and provide concise, easily digestible information.

2. Taylor Guitars and Airtable

Screenshot of the Taylor Guitars and Airtable case study, with the title: Taylor Guitars brings more music into the world with Airtable

This Airtable case study on Taylor Guitars comes as close as one can to an optimal structure. It features a video that represents the artistic nature of the client, highlighting key achievements and dissecting each element of Airtable's influence.

It also supplements each section with a testimonial or quote from the client, using their insights as a catalyst for the case study's narrative. For example, the case study quotes the social media manager and project manager's insights regarding team-wide communication and access before explaining in greater detail.

Takeaway: Highlight pain points your business solves for its client, and explore that influence in greater detail.

3. EndeavourX and Figma

Screenshot of the Endeavour and Figma case study, showing a bulleted list about why EndeavourX chose Figma followed by an image of EndeavourX's workspace on Figma

My favorite part of Figma's case study is highlighting why EndeavourX chose its solution. You'll notice an entire section on what Figma does for teams and then specifically for EndeavourX.

It also places a heavy emphasis on numbers and stats. The study, as brief as it is, still manages to pack in a lot of compelling statistics about what's possible with Figma.

Takeaway: Showcase the "how" and "why" of your product's differentiators and how they benefit your customers.

4. ActiveCampaign and Zapier

Screenshot of Zapier's case study with ActiveCampaign, showing three data visualizations on purple backgrounds

Zapier's case study leans heavily on design, using graphics to present statistics and goals in a manner that not only remains consistent with the branding but also actively pushes it forward, drawing users' eyes to the information most important to them. 

The graphics, emphasis on branding elements, and cause/effect style tell the story without requiring long, drawn-out copy that risks boring readers. Instead, the cause and effect are concisely portrayed alongside the client company's information for a brief and easily scannable case study.

Takeaway: Lean on design to call attention to the most important elements of your case study, and make sure it stays consistent with your branding.

5. Ironclad and OpenAI

Screenshot of a video from the Ironclad and OpenAI case study showing the Ironclad AI Assist feature

In true OpenAI fashion, this case study is a block of text. There's a distinct lack of imagery, but the study features a narrated video walking readers through the product.

The lack of imagery and color may not be the most inviting, but utilizing video format is commendable. It helps thoroughly communicate how OpenAI supported Ironclad in a way that allows the user to sit back, relax, listen, and be impressed. 

Takeaway: Get creative with the media you implement in your case study. Videos can be a very powerful addition when a case study requires more detailed storytelling.

6. Shopify and GitHub

Screenshot of the Shopify and GitHub case study, with the title "Shopify keeps pushing ecommerce forward with help from GitHub tools," followed by a photo of a plant and a Shopify bag on a table on a dark background

GitHub's case study on Shopify is a light read. It addresses client pain points and discusses the different aspects its product considers and improves for clients. It touches on workflow issues, internal systems, automation, and security. It does a great job of representing what one company can do with GitHub.

To drive the point home, the case study features colorful quote callouts from the Shopify team, sharing their insights and perspectives on the partnership, the key issues, and how they were addressed.

Takeaway: Leverage quotes to boost the authoritativeness and trustworthiness of your case study. 

7 . Audible and Contentful

Screenshot of the Audible and Contentful case study showing images of titles on Audible

Contentful's case study on Audible features almost every element a case study should. It includes not one but two videos and clearly outlines the challenge, solution, and outcome before diving deeper into what Contentful did for Audible. The language is simple, and the writing is heavy with quotes and personal insights.

This case study is a uniquely original experience. The fact that the companies in question are perhaps two of the most creative brands out there may be the reason. I expected nothing short of a detailed analysis, a compelling story, and video content. 

Takeaway: Inject some brand voice into the case study, and create assets that tell the story for you.

8 . Zoom and Asana

Screenshot of Zoom and Asana's case study on a navy blue background and an image of someone sitting on a Zoom call at a desk with the title "Zoom saves 133 work weeks per year with Asana"

Asana's case study on Zoom is longer than the average piece and features detailed data on Zoom's growth since 2020. Instead of relying on imagery and graphics, it features several quotes and testimonials. 

It's designed to be direct, informative, and promotional. At some point, the case study reads more like a feature list. There were a few sections that felt a tad too promotional for my liking, but to each their own burrito.

Takeaway: Maintain a balance between promotional and informative. You want to showcase the high-level goals your product helped achieve without losing the reader.

9 . Hickies and Mailchimp

Screenshot of the Hickies and Mailchimp case study with the title in a fun orange font, followed by a paragraph of text and a photo of a couple sitting on a couch looking at each other and smiling

I've always been a fan of Mailchimp's comic-like branding, and this case study does an excellent job of sticking to their tradition of making information easy to understand, casual, and inviting.

It features a short video that briefly covers Hickies as a company and Mailchimp's efforts to serve its needs for customer relationships and education processes. Overall, this case study is a concise overview of the partnership that manages to convey success data and tell a story at the same time. What sets it apart is that it does so in a uniquely colorful and brand-consistent manner.

Takeaway: Be concise to provide as much value in as little text as possible.

10. NVIDIA and Workday

Screenshot of NVIDIA and Workday's case study with a photo of a group of people standing around a tall desk and smiling and the title "NVIDIA hires game changers"

The gaming industry is notoriously difficult to recruit for, as it requires a very specific set of skills and experience. This case study focuses on how Workday was able to help fill that recruitment gap for NVIDIA, one of the biggest names in the gaming world.

Though it doesn't feature videos or graphics, this case study stood out to me in how it structures information like "key products used" to give readers insight into which tools helped achieve these results.

Takeaway: If your company offers multiple products or services, outline exactly which ones were involved in your case study, so readers can assess each tool.

11. KFC and Contentful

Screenshot of KFC and Contentful's case study showing the outcome of the study, showing two stats: 43% increase in YoY digital sales and 50%+ increase in AU digital sales YoY

I'm personally not a big KFC fan, but that's only because I refuse to eat out of a bucket. My aversion to the bucket format aside, Contentful follows its consistent case study format in this one, outlining challenges, solutions, and outcomes before diving into the nitty-gritty details of the project.

Say what you will about KFC, but their primary product (chicken) does present a unique opportunity for wordplay like "Continuing to march to the beat of a digital-first drum(stick)" or "Delivering deep-fried goodness to every channel."

Takeaway: Inject humor into your case study if there's room for it and if it fits your brand. 

12. Intuit and Twilio

Screenshot of the Intuit and Twilio case study on a dark background with three small, light green icons illustrating three important data points

Twilio does an excellent job of delivering achievements at the very beginning of the case study and going into detail in this two-minute read. While there aren't many graphics, the way quotes from the Intuit team are implemented adds a certain flair to the study and breaks up the sections nicely.

It's simple, concise, and manages to fit a lot of information in easily digestible sections.

Takeaway: Make sure each section is long enough to inform but brief enough to avoid boring readers. Break down information for each section, and don't go into so much detail that you lose the reader halfway through.

13. Spotify and Salesforce

Screenshot of Spotify and Salesforce's case study showing a still of a video with the title "Automation keeps Spotify's ad business growing year over year"

Salesforce created a video that accurately summarizes the key points of the case study. Beyond that, the page itself is very light on content, and sections are as short as one paragraph.

I especially like how information is broken down into "What you need to know," "Why it matters," and "What the difference looks like." I'm not ashamed of being spoon-fed information. When it's structured so well and so simply, it makes for an entertaining read.

Takeaway: Invest in videos that capture and promote your partnership with your case study subject. Video content plays a promotional role that extends beyond the case study in social media and marketing initiatives .

14. Benchling and Airtable

Screenshot of the Benchling and Airtable case study with the title: How Benchling achieves scientific breakthroughs via efficiency

Benchling is an impressive entity in its own right. Biotech R&D and health care nuances go right over my head. But the research and digging I've been doing in the name of these burritos (case studies) revealed that these products are immensely complex. 

And that's precisely why this case study deserves a read—it succeeds at explaining a complex project that readers outside the industry wouldn't know much about.

Takeaway: Simplify complex information, and walk readers through the company's operations and how your business helped streamline them.

15. Chipotle and Hubble

Screenshot of the Chipotle and Hubble case study with the title "Mexican food chain replaces Discoverer with Hubble and sees major efficiency improvements," followed by a photo of the outside of a Chipotle restaurant

The concision of this case study is refreshing. It features two sections—the challenge and the solution—all in 316 words. This goes to show that your case study doesn't necessarily need to be a four-figure investment with video shoots and studio time. 

Sometimes, the message is simple and short enough to convey in a handful of paragraphs.

Takeaway: Consider what you should include instead of what you can include. Assess the time, resources, and effort you're able and willing to invest in a case study, and choose which elements you want to include from there.

16. Hudl and Zapier

Screenshot of Hudl and Zapier's case study, showing data visualizations at the bottom, two photos of people playing sports on the top right , and a quote from the Hudl team on the topleft

I may be biased, but I'm a big fan of seeing metrics and achievements represented in branded graphics. It can be a jarring experience to navigate a website, then visit a case study page and feel as though you've gone to a completely different website.

The Zapier format provides nuggets of high-level insights, milestones, and achievements, as well as the challenge, solution, and results. My favorite part of this case study is how it's supplemented with a blog post detailing how Hudl uses Zapier automation to build a seamless user experience.

The case study is essentially the summary, and the blog article is the detailed analysis that provides context beyond X achievement or Y goal.

Takeaway: Keep your case study concise and informative. Create other resources to provide context under your blog, media or press, and product pages.

3 case study templates

Now that you've had your fill of case studies (if that's possible), I've got just what you need: an infinite number of case studies, which you can create yourself with these case study templates.

Case study template 1

Screenshot of Zapier's first case study template, with the title and three spots for data callouts at the top on a light peach-colored background, followed by a place to write the main success of the case study on a dark green background

If you've got a quick hit of stats you want to show off, try this template. The opening section gives space for a short summary and three visually appealing stats you can highlight, followed by a headline and body where you can break the case study down more thoroughly. This one's pretty simple, with only sections for solutions and results, but you can easily continue the formatting to add more sections as needed.

Case study template 2

Screenshot of Zapier's second case study template, with the title, objectives, and overview on a dark blue background with an orange strip in the middle with a place to write the main success of the case study

For a case study template with a little more detail, use this one. Opening with a striking cover page for a quick overview, this one goes on to include context, stakeholders, challenges, multiple quote callouts, and quick-hit stats. 

Case study template 3

Screenshot of Zapier's third case study template, with the places for title, objectives, and about the business on a dark green background followed by three spots for data callouts in orange boxes

Whether you want a little structural variation or just like a nice dark green, this template has similar components to the last template but is designed to help tell a story. Move from the client overview through a description of your company before getting to the details of how you fixed said company's problems.

Tips for writing a case study

Examples are all well and good, but you don't learn how to make a burrito just by watching tutorials on YouTube without knowing what any of the ingredients are. You could , but it probably wouldn't be all that good.

Writing a good case study comes down to a mix of creativity, branding, and the capacity to invest in the project. With those details in mind, here are some case study tips to follow:

Have an objective: Define your objective by identifying the challenge, solution, and results. Assess your work with the client and focus on the most prominent wins. You're speaking to multiple businesses and industries through the case study, so make sure you know what you want to say to them.

Focus on persuasive data: Growth percentages and measurable results are your best friends. Extract your most compelling data and highlight it in your case study.

Use eye-grabbing graphics: Branded design goes a long way in accurately representing your brand and retaining readers as they review the study. Leverage unique and eye-catching graphics to keep readers engaged. 

Simplify data presentation: Some industries are more complex than others, and sometimes, data can be difficult to understand at a glance. Make sure you present your data in the simplest way possible. Make it concise, informative, and easy to understand.

Use automation to drive results for your case study

A case study example is a source of inspiration you can leverage to determine how to best position your brand's work. Find your unique angle, and refine it over time to help your business stand out. Ask anyone: the best burrito in town doesn't just appear at the number one spot. They find their angle (usually the house sauce) and leverage it to stand out.

In fact, with the right technology, it can be refined to work better . Explore how Zapier's automation features can help drive results for your case study by making your case study a part of a developed workflow that creates a user journey through your website, your case studies, and into the pipeline.

To write a good case study, you should have an objective, identify persuasive and compelling data, leverage graphics, and simplify data. Case studies typically include an analysis of the challenge, solution, and results of the partnership.

What is the format of a case study?

While case studies don't have a set format, they're often portrayed as reports or essays that inform readers about the partnership and its results.

Earning the trust of prospective customers can be a struggle. Before you can even begin to expect to earn their business, you need to demonstrate your ability to deliver on what your product or service promises.

Sure, you could say that you're great at X or that you're way ahead of the competition when it comes to Y. But at the end of the day, what you really need to win new business is cold, hard proof.

One of the best ways to prove your worth is through a compelling case study. In fact, HubSpot’s 2020 State of Marketing report found that case studies are so compelling that they are the fifth most commonly used type of content used by marketers.

Business Case Study Examples

A case study is a specific challenge a business has faced, and the solution they've chosen to solve it. Case studies can vary greatly in length and focus on several details related to the initial challenge and applied solution, and can be presented in various forms like a video, white paper, blog post, etc.

In professional settings, it's common for a case study to tell the story of a successful business partnership between a vendor and a client. Perhaps the success you're highlighting is in the number of leads your client generated, customers closed, or revenue gained. Any one of these key performance indicators (KPIs) are examples of your company's services in action.

When done correctly, these examples of your work can chronicle the positive impact your business has on existing or previous customers and help you attract new clients.

Why write a case study? 

I know, you’re thinking “ Okay, but why do I need to write one of these? ” The truth is that while case studies are a huge undertaking, they are powerful marketing tools that allow you to demonstrate the value of your product to potential customers using real-world examples. Here are a few reasons why you should write case studies. 

1. Explain Complex Topics or Concepts

Case studies give you the space to break down complex concepts, ideas, and strategies and show how they can be applied in a practical way. You can use real-world examples, like an existing client, and use their story to create a compelling narrative that shows how your product solved their issue and how those strategies can be repeated to help other customers get similar successful results.  

2. Show Expertise

Case studies are a great way to demonstrate your knowledge and expertise on a given topic or industry. This is where you get the opportunity to show off your problem-solving skills and how you’ve generated successful outcomes for clients you’ve worked with. 

3. Build Trust and Credibility

In addition to showing off the attributes above, case studies are an excellent way to build credibility. They’re often filled with data and thoroughly researched, which shows readers you’ve done your homework. They can have confidence in the solutions you’ve presented because they’ve read through as you’ve explained the problem and outlined step-by-step what it took to solve it. All of these elements working together enable you to build trust with potential customers.

4. Create Social Proof

Using existing clients that have seen success working with your brand builds social proof . People are more likely to choose your brand if they know that others have found success working with you. Case studies do just that — putting your success on display for potential customers to see. 

All of these attributes work together to help you gain more clients. Plus you can even use quotes from customers featured in these studies and repurpose them in other marketing content. Now that you know more about the benefits of producing a case study, let’s check out how long these documents should be. 

How long should a case study be?

The length of a case study will vary depending on the complexity of the project or topic discussed. However, as a general guideline, case studies typically range from 500 to 1,500 words. 

Whatever length you choose, it should provide a clear understanding of the challenge, the solution you implemented, and the results achieved. This may be easier said than done, but it's important to strike a balance between providing enough detail to make the case study informative and concise enough to keep the reader's interest.

The primary goal here is to effectively communicate the key points and takeaways of the case study. It’s worth noting that this shouldn’t be a wall of text. Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, charts, and other graphics to break up the content and make it more scannable for readers. We’ve also seen brands incorporate video elements into case studies listed on their site for a more engaging experience. 

Ultimately, the length of your case study should be determined by the amount of information necessary to convey the story and its impact without becoming too long. Next, let’s look at some templates to take the guesswork out of creating one. 

To help you arm your prospects with information they can trust, we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to create effective case studies for your business with free case study templates for creating your own.

And to give you more options, we’ll highlight some useful templates that serve different needs. But remember, there are endless possibilities when it comes to demonstrating the work your business has done.

1. General Case Study Template

case study templates: general

Do you have a specific product or service that you’re trying to sell, but not enough reviews or success stories? This Product Specific case study template will help.

This template relies less on metrics, and more on highlighting the customer’s experience and satisfaction. As you follow the template instructions, you’ll be prompted to speak more about the benefits of the specific product, rather than your team’s process for working with the customer.

4. Bold Social Media Business Case Study Template

You can find templates that represent different niches, industries, or strategies that your business has found success in — like a bold social media business case study template.

In this template, you can tell the story of how your social media marketing strategy has helped you or your client through collaboration or sale of your service. Customize it to reflect the different marketing channels used in your business and show off how well your business has been able to boost traffic, engagement, follows, and more.

5. Lead Generation Business Case Study Template

case study templates: lead generation business

It’s important to note that not every case study has to be the product of a sale or customer story, sometimes they can be informative lessons that your own business has experienced. A great example of this is the Lead Generation Business case study template.

If you’re looking to share operational successes regarding how your team has improved processes or content, you should include the stories of different team members involved, how the solution was found, and how it has made a difference in the work your business does.

Now that we’ve discussed different templates and ideas for how to use them, let’s break down how to create your own case study with one.

  • Get started with case study templates.
  • Determine the case study's objective.
  • Establish a case study medium.
  • Find the right case study candidate.
  • Contact your candidate for permission to write about them.
  • Ensure you have all the resources you need to proceed once you get a response.
  • Download a case study email template.
  • Define the process you want to follow with the client.
  • Ensure you're asking the right questions.
  • Layout your case study format.
  • Publish and promote your case study.

1. Get started with case study templates.

Telling your customer's story is a delicate process — you need to highlight their success while naturally incorporating your business into their story.

If you're just getting started with case studies, we recommend you download HubSpot's Case Study Templates we mentioned before to kickstart the process.

2. Determine the case study's objective.

All business case studies are designed to demonstrate the value of your services, but they can focus on several different client objectives.

Your first step when writing a case study is to determine the objective or goal of the subject you're featuring. In other words, what will the client have succeeded in doing by the end of the piece?

The client objective you focus on will depend on what you want to prove to your future customers as a result of publishing this case study.

Your case study can focus on one of the following client objectives:

  • Complying with government regulation
  • Lowering business costs
  • Becoming profitable
  • Generating more leads
  • Closing on more customers
  • Generating more revenue
  • Expanding into a new market
  • Becoming more sustainable or energy-efficient

3. Establish a case study medium.

Next, you'll determine the medium in which you'll create the case study. In other words, how will you tell this story?

Case studies don't have to be simple, written one-pagers. Using different media in your case study can allow you to promote your final piece on different channels. For example, while a written case study might just live on your website and get featured in a Facebook post, you can post an infographic case study on Pinterest and a video case study on your YouTube channel.

Here are some different case study mediums to consider:

Written Case Study

Consider writing this case study in the form of an ebook and converting it to a downloadable PDF. Then, gate the PDF behind a landing page and form for readers to fill out before downloading the piece, allowing this case study to generate leads for your business.

Video Case Study

Plan on meeting with the client and shooting an interview. Seeing the subject, in person, talk about the service you provided them can go a long way in the eyes of your potential customers.

Infographic Case Study

Use the long, vertical format of an infographic to tell your success story from top to bottom. As you progress down the infographic, emphasize major KPIs using bigger text and charts that show the successes your client has had since working with you.

Podcast Case Study

Podcasts are a platform for you to have a candid conversation with your client. This type of case study can sound more real and human to your audience — they'll know the partnership between you and your client was a genuine success.

4. Find the right case study candidate.

Writing about your previous projects requires more than picking a client and telling a story. You need permission, quotes, and a plan. To start, here are a few things to look for in potential candidates.

Product Knowledge

It helps to select a customer who's well-versed in the logistics of your product or service. That way, he or she can better speak to the value of what you offer in a way that makes sense for future customers.

Remarkable Results

Clients that have seen the best results are going to make the strongest case studies. If their own businesses have seen an exemplary ROI from your product or service, they're more likely to convey the enthusiasm that you want prospects to feel, too.

One part of this step is to choose clients who have experienced unexpected success from your product or service. When you've provided non-traditional customers — in industries that you don't usually work with, for example — with positive results, it can help to remove doubts from prospects.

Recognizable Names

While small companies can have powerful stories, bigger or more notable brands tend to lend credibility to your own. In fact, 89% of consumers say they'll buy from a brand they already recognize over a competitor, especially if they already follow them on social media.

Customers that came to you after working with a competitor help highlight your competitive advantage and might even sway decisions in your favor.

5. Contact your candidate for permission to write about them.

To get the case study candidate involved, you have to set the stage for clear and open communication. That means outlining expectations and a timeline right away — not having those is one of the biggest culprits in delayed case study creation.

Most importantly at this point, however, is getting your subject's approval. When first reaching out to your case study candidate, provide them with the case study's objective and format — both of which you will have come up with in the first two steps above.

To get this initial permission from your subject, put yourself in their shoes — what would they want out of this case study? Although you're writing this for your own company's benefit, your subject is far more interested in the benefit it has for them.

Benefits to Offer Your Case Study Candidate

Here are four potential benefits you can promise your case study candidate to gain their approval.

Brand Exposure

Explain to your subject to whom this case study will be exposed, and how this exposure can help increase their brand awareness both in and beyond their own industry. In the B2B sector, brand awareness can be hard to collect outside one's own market, making case studies particularly useful to a client looking to expand their name's reach.

Employee Exposure

Allow your subject to provide quotes with credits back to specific employees. When this is an option for them, their brand isn't the only thing expanding its reach — their employees can get their name out there, too. This presents your subject with networking and career development opportunities they might not have otherwise.

Product Discount

This is a more tangible incentive you can offer your case study candidate, especially if they're a current customer of yours. If they agree to be your subject, offer them a product discount — or a free trial of another product — as a thank-you for their help creating your case study.

Backlinks and Website Traffic

Here's a benefit that is sure to resonate with your subject's marketing team: If you publish your case study on your website, and your study links back to your subject's website — known as a "backlink" — this small gesture can give them website traffic from visitors who click through to your subject's website.

Additionally, a backlink from you increases your subject's page authority in the eyes of Google. This helps them rank more highly in search engine results and collect traffic from readers who are already looking for information about their industry.

6. Ensure you have all the resources you need to proceed once you get a response.

So you know what you’re going to offer your candidate, it’s time that you prepare the resources needed for if and when they agree to participate, like a case study release form and success story letter.

Let's break those two down.

Case Study Release Form

This document can vary, depending on factors like the size of your business, the nature of your work, and what you intend to do with the case studies once they are completed. That said, you should typically aim to include the following in the Case Study Release Form:

  • A clear explanation of why you are creating this case study and how it will be used.
  • A statement defining the information and potentially trademarked information you expect to include about the company — things like names, logos, job titles, and pictures.
  • An explanation of what you expect from the participant, beyond the completion of the case study. For example, is this customer willing to act as a reference or share feedback, and do you have permission to pass contact information along for these purposes?
  • A note about compensation.

Success Story Letter

As noted in the sample email, this document serves as an outline for the entire case study process. Other than a brief explanation of how the customer will benefit from case study participation, you'll want to be sure to define the following steps in the Success Story Letter.

7. Download a case study email template.

While you gathered your resources, your candidate has gotten time to read over the proposal. When your candidate approves of your case study, it's time to send them a release form.

A case study release form tells you what you'll need from your chosen subject, like permission to use any brand names and share the project information publicly. Kick-off this process with an email that runs through exactly what they can expect from you, as well as what you need from them. To give you an idea of what that might look like, check out this sample email:

sample case study email release form template

8. Define the process you want to follow with the client.

Before you can begin the case study, you have to have a clear outline of the case study process with your client. An example of an effective outline would include the following information.

The Acceptance

First, you'll need to receive internal approval from the company's marketing team. Once approved, the Release Form should be signed and returned to you. It's also a good time to determine a timeline that meets the needs and capabilities of both teams.

The Questionnaire

To ensure that you have a productive interview — which is one of the best ways to collect information for the case study — you'll want to ask the participant to complete a questionnaire before this conversation. That will provide your team with the necessary foundation to organize the interview, and get the most out of it.

The Interview

Once the questionnaire is completed, someone on your team should reach out to the participant to schedule a 30- to 60-minute interview, which should include a series of custom questions related to the customer's experience with your product or service.

The Draft Review

After the case study is composed, you'll want to send a draft to the customer, allowing an opportunity to give you feedback and edits.

The Final Approval

Once any necessary edits are completed, send a revised copy of the case study to the customer for final approval.

Once the case study goes live — on your website or elsewhere — it's best to contact the customer with a link to the page where the case study lives. Don't be afraid to ask your participants to share these links with their own networks, as it not only demonstrates your ability to deliver positive results and impressive growth, as well.

9. Ensure you're asking the right questions.

Before you execute the questionnaire and actual interview, make sure you're setting yourself up for success. A strong case study results from being prepared to ask the right questions. What do those look like? Here are a few examples to get you started:

  • What are your goals?
  • What challenges were you experiencing before purchasing our product or service?
  • What made our product or service stand out against our competitors?
  • What did your decision-making process look like?
  • How have you benefited from using our product or service? (Where applicable, always ask for data.)

Keep in mind that the questionnaire is designed to help you gain insights into what sort of strong, success-focused questions to ask during the actual interview. And once you get to that stage, we recommend that you follow the "Golden Rule of Interviewing." Sounds fancy, right? It's actually quite simple — ask open-ended questions.

If you're looking to craft a compelling story, "yes" or "no" answers won't provide the details you need. Focus on questions that invite elaboration, such as, "Can you describe ...?" or, "Tell me about ..."

In terms of the interview structure, we recommend categorizing the questions and flowing them into six specific sections that will mirror a successful case study format. Combined, they'll allow you to gather enough information to put together a rich, comprehensive study.

Open with the customer's business.

The goal of this section is to generate a better understanding of the company's current challenges and goals, and how they fit into the landscape of their industry. Sample questions might include:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • How many employees do you have?
  • What are some of the objectives of your department at this time?

Cite a problem or pain point.

To tell a compelling story, you need context. That helps match the customer's need with your solution. Sample questions might include:

  • What challenges and objectives led you to look for a solution?
  • What might have happened if you did not identify a solution?
  • Did you explore other solutions before this that did not work out? If so, what happened?

Discuss the decision process.

Exploring how the customer decided to work with you helps to guide potential customers through their own decision-making processes. Sample questions might include:

  • How did you hear about our product or service?
  • Who was involved in the selection process?
  • What was most important to you when evaluating your options?

Explain how a solution was implemented.

The focus here should be placed on the customer's experience during the onboarding process. Sample questions might include:

  • How long did it take to get up and running?
  • Did that meet your expectations?
  • Who was involved in the process?

Explain how the solution works.

The goal of this section is to better understand how the customer is using your product or service. Sample questions might include:

  • Is there a particular aspect of the product or service that you rely on most?
  • Who is using the product or service?

End with the results.

In this section, you want to uncover impressive measurable outcomes — the more numbers, the better. Sample questions might include:

  • How is the product or service helping you save time and increase productivity?
  • In what ways does that enhance your competitive advantage?
  • How much have you increased metrics X, Y, and Z?

10. Lay out your case study format.

When it comes time to take all of the information you've collected and actually turn it into something, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Where should you start? What should you include? What's the best way to structure it?

To help you get a handle on this step, it's important to first understand that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the ways you can present a case study. They can be very visual, which you'll see in some of the examples we've included below, and can sometimes be communicated mostly through video or photos, with a bit of accompanying text.

Here are the sections we suggest, which we'll cover in more detail down below:

  • Title: Keep it short. Develop a succinct but interesting project name you can give the work you did with your subject.
  • Subtitle: Use this copy to briefly elaborate on the accomplishment. What was done? The case study itself will explain how you got there.
  • Executive Summary : A 2-4 sentence summary of the entire story. You'll want to follow it with 2-3 bullet points that display metrics showcasing success.
  • About the Subject: An introduction to the person or company you served, which can be pulled from a LinkedIn Business profile or client website.
  • Challenges and Objectives: A 2-3 paragraph description of the customer's challenges, before using your product or service. This section should also include the goals or objectives the customer set out to achieve.
  • How Product/Service Helped: A 2-3 paragraph section that describes how your product or service provided a solution to their problem.
  • Results: A 2-3 paragraph testimonial that proves how your product or service specifically benefited the person or company and helped achieve its goals. Include numbers to quantify your contributions.
  • Supporting Visuals or Quotes: Pick one or two powerful quotes that you would feature at the bottom of the sections above, as well as a visual that supports the story you are telling.
  • Future Plans: Everyone likes an epilogue. Comment on what's ahead for your case study subject, whether or not those plans involve you.
  • Call to Action (CTA): Not every case study needs a CTA, but putting a passive one at the end of your case study can encourage your readers to take an action on your website after learning about the work you've done.

When laying out your case study, focus on conveying the information you've gathered in the most clear and concise way possible. Make it easy to scan and comprehend, and be sure to provide an attractive call-to-action at the bottom — that should provide readers an opportunity to learn more about your product or service.

11. Publish and promote your case study.

Once you've completed your case study, it's time to publish and promote it. Some case study formats have pretty obvious promotional outlets — a video case study can go on YouTube, just as an infographic case study can go on Pinterest.

But there are still other ways to publish and promote your case study. Here are a couple of ideas:

Lead Gen in a Blog Post

As stated earlier in this article, written case studies make terrific lead-generators if you convert them into a downloadable format, like a PDF. To generate leads from your case study, consider writing a blog post that tells an abbreviated story of your client's success and asking readers to fill out a form with their name and email address if they'd like to read the rest in your PDF.

Then, promote this blog post on social media, through a Facebook post or a tweet.

Published as a Page on Your Website

As a growing business, you might need to display your case study out in the open to gain the trust of your target audience.

Rather than gating it behind a landing page, publish your case study to its own page on your website, and direct people here from your homepage with a "Case Studies" or "Testimonials" button along your homepage's top navigation bar.

Format for a Case Study

The traditional case study format includes the following parts: a title and subtitle, a client profile, a summary of the customer’s challenges and objectives, an account of how your solution helped, and a description of the results. You might also want to include supporting visuals and quotes, future plans, and calls-to-action.

case study format: title

Image Source

The title is one of the most important parts of your case study. It should draw readers in while succinctly describing the potential benefits of working with your company. To that end, your title should:

  • State the name of your custome r. Right away, the reader must learn which company used your products and services. This is especially important if your customer has a recognizable brand. If you work with individuals and not companies, you may omit the name and go with professional titles: “A Marketer…”, “A CFO…”, and so forth.
  • State which product your customer used . Even if you only offer one product or service, or if your company name is the same as your product name, you should still include the name of your solution. That way, readers who are not familiar with your business can become aware of what you sell.
  • Allude to the results achieved . You don’t necessarily need to provide hard numbers, but the title needs to represent the benefits, quickly. That way, if a reader doesn’t stay to read, they can walk away with the most essential information: Your product works.

The example above, “Crunch Fitness Increases Leads and Signups With HubSpot,” achieves all three — without being wordy. Keeping your title short and sweet is also essential.

2. Subtitle

case study format: subtitle

Your subtitle is another essential part of your case study — don’t skip it, even if you think you’ve done the work with the title. In this section, include a brief summary of the challenges your customer was facing before they began to use your products and services. Then, drive the point home by reiterating the benefits your customer experienced by working with you.

The above example reads:

“Crunch Fitness was franchising rapidly when COVID-19 forced fitness clubs around the world to close their doors. But the company stayed agile by using HubSpot to increase leads and free trial signups.”

We like that the case study team expressed the urgency of the problem — opening more locations in the midst of a pandemic — and placed the focus on the customer’s ability to stay agile.

3. Executive Summary

case study format: executive summary

The executive summary should provide a snapshot of your customer, their challenges, and the benefits they enjoyed from working with you. Think it’s too much? Think again — the purpose of the case study is to emphasize, again and again, how well your product works.

The good news is that depending on your design, the executive summary can be mixed with the subtitle or with the “About the Company” section. Many times, this section doesn’t need an explicit “Executive Summary” subheading. You do need, however, to provide a convenient snapshot for readers to scan.

In the above example, ADP included information about its customer in a scannable bullet-point format, then provided two sections: “Business Challenge” and “How ADP Helped.” We love how simple and easy the format is to follow for those who are unfamiliar with ADP or its typical customer.

4. About the Company

case study format: about the company

Readers need to know and understand who your customer is. This is important for several reasons: It helps your reader potentially relate to your customer, it defines your ideal client profile (which is essential to deter poor-fit prospects who might have reached out without knowing they were a poor fit), and it gives your customer an indirect boon by subtly promoting their products and services.

Feel free to keep this section as simple as possible. You can simply copy and paste information from the company’s LinkedIn, use a quote directly from your customer, or take a more creative storytelling approach.

In the above example, HubSpot included one paragraph of description for Crunch Fitness and a few bullet points. Below, ADP tells the story of its customer using an engaging, personable technique that effectively draws readers in.

case study format: storytelling about the business

5. Challenges and Objectives

case study format: challenges and objectives

The challenges and objectives section of your case study is the place to lay out, in detail, the difficulties your customer faced prior to working with you — and what they hoped to achieve when they enlisted your help.

In this section, you can be as brief or as descriptive as you’d like, but remember: Stress the urgency of the situation. Don’t understate how much your customer needed your solution (but don’t exaggerate and lie, either). Provide contextual information as necessary. For instance, the pandemic and societal factors may have contributed to the urgency of the need.

Take the above example from design consultancy IDEO:

“Educational opportunities for adults have become difficult to access in the United States, just when they’re needed most. To counter this trend, IDEO helped the city of South Bend and the Drucker Institute launch Bendable, a community-powered platform that connects people with opportunities to learn with and from each other.”

We love how IDEO mentions the difficulties the United States faces at large, the efforts its customer is taking to address these issues, and the steps IDEO took to help.

6. How Product/Service Helped

case study format: how the service helped

This is where you get your product or service to shine. Cover the specific benefits that your customer enjoyed and the features they gleaned the most use out of. You can also go into detail about how you worked with and for your customer. Maybe you met several times before choosing the right solution, or you consulted with external agencies to create the best package for them.

Whatever the case may be, try to illustrate how easy and pain-free it is to work with the representatives at your company. After all, potential customers aren’t looking to just purchase a product. They’re looking for a dependable provider that will strive to exceed their expectations.

In the above example, IDEO describes how it partnered with research institutes and spoke with learners to create Bendable, a free educational platform. We love how it shows its proactivity and thoroughness. It makes potential customers feel that IDEO might do something similar for them.

case study format: results

The results are essential, and the best part is that you don’t need to write the entirety of the case study before sharing them. Like HubSpot, IDEO, and ADP, you can include the results right below the subtitle or executive summary. Use data and numbers to substantiate the success of your efforts, but if you don’t have numbers, you can provide quotes from your customers.

We can’t overstate the importance of the results. In fact, if you wanted to create a short case study, you could include your title, challenge, solution (how your product helped), and result.

8. Supporting Visuals or Quotes

case study format: quote

Let your customer speak for themselves by including quotes from the representatives who directly interfaced with your company.

Visuals can also help, even if they’re stock images. On one side, they can help you convey your customer’s industry, and on the other, they can indirectly convey your successes. For instance, a picture of a happy professional — even if they’re not your customer — will communicate that your product can lead to a happy client.

In this example from IDEO, we see a man standing in a boat. IDEO’s customer is neither the man pictured nor the manufacturer of the boat, but rather Conservation International, an environmental organization. This imagery provides a visually pleasing pattern interrupt to the page, while still conveying what the case study is about.

9. Future Plans

This is optional, but including future plans can help you close on a more positive, personable note than if you were to simply include a quote or the results. In this space, you can show that your product will remain in your customer’s tech stack for years to come, or that your services will continue to be instrumental to your customer’s success.

Alternatively, if you work only on time-bound projects, you can allude to the positive impact your customer will continue to see, even after years of the end of the contract.

10. Call to Action (CTA)

case study format: call to action

Not every case study needs a CTA, but we’d still encourage it. Putting one at the end of your case study will encourage your readers to take an action on your website after learning about the work you've done.

It will also make it easier for them to reach out, if they’re ready to start immediately. You don’t want to lose business just because they have to scroll all the way back up to reach out to your team.

To help you visualize this case study outline, check out the case study template below, which can also be downloaded here .

You drove the results, made the connection, set the expectations, used the questionnaire to conduct a successful interview, and boiled down your findings into a compelling story. And after all of that, you're left with a little piece of sales enabling gold — a case study.

To show you what a well-executed final product looks like, have a look at some of these marketing case study examples.

1. "Shopify Uses HubSpot CRM to Transform High Volume Sales Organization," by HubSpot

What's interesting about this case study is the way it leads with the customer. This reflects a major HubSpot value, which is to always solve for the customer first. The copy leads with a brief description of why Shopify uses HubSpot and is accompanied by a short video and some basic statistics on the company.

Notice that this case study uses mixed media. Yes, there is a short video, but it's elaborated upon in the additional text on the page. So, while case studies can use one or the other, don't be afraid to combine written copy with visuals to emphasize the project's success.

2. "New England Journal of Medicine," by Corey McPherson Nash

When branding and design studio Corey McPherson Nash showcases its work, it makes sense for it to be visual — after all, that's what they do. So in building the case study for the studio's work on the New England Journal of Medicine's integrated advertising campaign — a project that included the goal of promoting the client's digital presence — Corey McPherson Nash showed its audience what it did, rather than purely telling it.

Notice that the case study does include some light written copy — which includes the major points we've suggested — but lets the visuals do the talking, allowing users to really absorb the studio's services.

3. "Designing the Future of Urban Farming," by IDEO

Here's a design company that knows how to lead with simplicity in its case studies. As soon as the visitor arrives at the page, he or she is greeted with a big, bold photo, and two very simple columns of text — "The Challenge" and "The Outcome."

Immediately, IDEO has communicated two of the case study's major pillars. And while that's great — the company created a solution for vertical farming startup INFARM's challenge — it doesn't stop there. As the user scrolls down, those pillars are elaborated upon with comprehensive (but not overwhelming) copy that outlines what that process looked like, replete with quotes and additional visuals.

4. "Secure Wi-Fi Wins Big for Tournament," by WatchGuard

Then, there are the cases when visuals can tell almost the entire story — when executed correctly. Network security provider WatchGuard can do that through this video, which tells the story of how its services enhanced the attendee and vendor experience at the Windmill Ultimate Frisbee tournament.

5. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Boosts Social Media Engagement and Brand Awareness with HubSpot

In the case study above , HubSpot uses photos, videos, screenshots, and helpful stats to tell the story of how the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame used the bot, CRM, and social media tools to gain brand awareness.

6. Small Desk Plant Business Ups Sales by 30% With Trello

This case study from Trello is straightforward and easy to understand. It begins by explaining the background of the company that decided to use it, what its goals were, and how it planned to use Trello to help them.

It then goes on to discuss how the software was implemented and what tasks and teams benefited from it. Towards the end, it explains the sales results that came from implementing the software and includes quotes from decision-makers at the company that implemented it.

7. Facebook's Mercedes Benz Success Story

Facebook's Success Stories page hosts a number of well-designed and easy-to-understand case studies that visually and editorially get to the bottom line quickly.

Each study begins with key stats that draw the reader in. Then it's organized by highlighting a problem or goal in the introduction, the process the company took to reach its goals, and the results. Then, in the end, Facebook notes the tools used in the case study.

Showcasing Your Work

You work hard at what you do. Now, it's time to show it to the world — and, perhaps more important, to potential customers. Before you show off the projects that make you the proudest, we hope you follow these important steps that will help you effectively communicate that work and leave all parties feeling good about it.

6 Web Design Case Studies We Can Learn From

Convey your thought processes and skills - and show future clients who you are as a designer

website video case study

  • Apr 11, 2019

We all know the importance of having a good online design portfolio. It’s your opportunity to show off your masterpieces to the world, while having full control over all aspects, from the layout, to animations, navigation and more. This way, you can have an impact on the way your work is perceived and experienced by potential clients or employers.

That’s all very well, but when it comes to web design projects, why not simply add a link to the website itself and let your visitors browse freely over there? Sure – you should link to any websites you’ve designed, but there are many ways to effectively showcase your web design projects on your portfolio.

Creating a case study that explains your work process and final results can elevate your projects to a whole other level. It can help your site visitors gain a better understanding of who you are, the way you work, your decision-making processes and more. Just like any other design project, a case study should tell a story. It should take your site visitors on a journey through your process, from color palette choices, to icons created specifically for the project, ‘before and after’ pics and more.

We’ve gathered six designers who have chosen diverse ways to expertly showcase their web design projects on their Wix portfolios. Dive in for some inspiration:

1. Brown Owl Creative for Creative House Group

> Showcasing custom-made icons and full-length screenshots

Multidisciplinary design company, Brown Owl Creative, chose to place a fullscreen gif on the top fold of this project page, instantly setting the tone. Directly beneath, a brief sentence introduces the client they were working with, plus the discipline involved and a link to the final result: the website itself. A generous use of white space helps put the focus on the text.

Scrolling down, you’ll find full-length screenshots of their website design, with a simple non-obtrusive gray border. They’ve also chosen to display a section of the client’s website on a laptop, offering an alternative perspective. Another nice touch is the emphasis they’ve put on three animated icons that are featured on the final site. And let’s not forget some basic UX principles they’ve taken care of: a ‘Back to top’ button and a ‘Next project’ button to ensure fluid navigation.

2. Miki Twersky for Nosta Fragrances

> Merging video screenshots with atmospheric photos

There are many subtle additions to NYC-based designer Miki Twersky’s portfolio that make it such a success. The comic footer, delightfully honest ‘ About ’ page and spacious layout make for a browsing experience that is both smooth and entertaining.

It comes as no surprise that her inner project pages are crafted with just as much care and attention to detail. This web design case study starts with a mood-setting image, followed by a brief explanation of the brand and some additional basic details, such as the date, her roles within the project and any other contributors. A slider invites you to scroll through to view the various stages involved in the logo design process.

Further down, Miki has seamlessly integrated video screenshots of the website, enabling her to choose which aspects of her design to put a spotlight on. The page ends with a few product photos that help strengthen the look-and-feel and tie everything together, while presenting more of her branding work.

3. Adelaide Wang for Humm.ly

> Thorough case study incorporating texts, images and videos

San Francisco-based product designer, Adelaide Wang, definitely knows the ins and outs of creating an intriguing and comprehensive case study. Having worked on many aspects of this project for Humm.ly , a music healthcare platform and app, she was able to share her and her team’s full work process.

The long-scrolling page takes you on a journey through some of the major stages of any design project. It starts by presenting their search for a defined visual identity. It then moves on to the details of the app’s various screens and navigation, putting an emphasis on the accessibility of the website’s design . Lastly, Adelaide presents the website itself on various devices, including a video screenshot of the website on mobile.

A consistent layout is used throughout the page, with titles, subtitles and paragraph text all retaining the same style. Two alternating shades of gray make up the website’s background, creating a clear, but subtle, separation between folds, and ultimately contributing to a successful user experience.

4. Studio&more for Din7

> Presenting color choices, logo design and more

Here’s another example of a detailed web design case study, by graphic design studio, Studio&more. In this project for industrial design company, Din7, they worked on both branding and UX. As a result, they had the material necessary to cover everything from color palette and typography choices, to the development of the company’s logo design, illustration style, website and various applications of the visual identity.

Each section of the case study is numbered and presented with a succinct selection of images. They’ve also used the visual language they came up with for the brand in the background, creating a strong and clearly defined tone of voice. Lastly, the studio has picked out a few of their website design’s screens to showcase separately, drawing attention to them.

5. Ariel Sun for her wedding website

> Telling a story through text and images

NYC-based artist and designer, Ariel Sun, created this web design case study for her own wedding website. There are many ways to write copy for your design portfolio – and here, Ariel’s gone for a friendly and personal tone of voice to provide site visitors with an inviting summary of the project. She also clearly explained what she and her partner’s different roles were in the process, giving everyone the credit they deserve.

Two simple, static screenshots of the website design follow, presenting the most prominent pages of the site. These are accompanied by an illustration of the couple and an image of the wedding invitation, helping us get a feel for the vibe they were going for. All of this is presented in a highly aesthetic way, using a clean grid, plus a fixed menu at the top for comfortable navigation.

6. Liron Ashkenazi for The-Artery

> Including mobile and tablet view, process, and more

Multidisciplinary design director, Liron Ashkenazi, worked with a team of 3D artists, designers and developers to come up with the award-winning design for The-Artery ’s website. Liron’s case study of the project is made up of a selection of beautifully designed screenshot videos, short explanatory titles, the 3D model design process and accompanying text. The layout is concise, while including all the relevant details.

A thin column on the left provides us with background information on the client, The-Artery, as well as a breakdown of the various roles and the people involved. It also includes a list of links where the website has been featured.

Scrolling down the page, you see the development of the 3D animated models that appear on the final website. There’s also an image that showcases the website on three different devices. Incorporating elements from the design outside of the screenshots, makes for an intriguing visual representation of the overall project. The text above and on each image clarifies which page you’re looking at and who’s responsible for which elements, while not distracting from the design itself. Finally, Liron has included the design for a 404 page – a welcome addition, especially when it looks this good.
